Editorial Reviews
Review
“Recommended. General Readers; lower- and upper-division undergraduates.”–Choice
“...a quirky and fun look at science versus dramatic license in movies, television, written fiction, and music...This book would be especially appropriate for public libraries, particularly those with strong science fiction collections, and would not be a bad addition for undergraduate academic libraries. It also would be quite a handy resource for armchair and professional critics of literature, television, and film.”–E-Streams
“...this may be just right for your library.”–Thomson-Gale Reference for Students
“This title is an interesting look at science.”–Library Media Connection
Book Description
Spaceships travel through time at lightspeed, piloted by human clones and talking animals. Serious injuries are healed with the wave of a medical gizmo. The media make it all look so real. Can scientists hope to one day accomplish these feats? This book is a fun look at what can, and can't, be achieved with current technology.
