Biology Run Amok!: The Life Science Lessons of Science Fiction Cinema by Mark C. Glassy
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5.7MB
Overview: Science fiction movie audiences may sometimes wonder how fictitious the science in a film really is.
Yet for many–call them the “Jurassic Park generation”–film and popular media can present a seemingly plausible melding of science and fiction that forms a distorted understanding of scientific facts and concepts. Recognizing that film is both the dominant entertainment medium and an effective tool for teaching, this book–featuring articles originally published in the magazine
Scary Monsters–separates biological reality from fantasy in dozens of science fiction films, including The Island of Lost Souls (1933), The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957), War of the Worlds (1953), A Clockwork Orange (1971), Scanners (1980), The Serpent and the Rainbow (1987) and Outbreak (1995).
