Exploring Science Through Science Fiction By: Barry B. Luokkala Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9781461478904, 1461478901 eText ISBN: 9781461478911, 146147891X Copyright year: 2014 Format: EPUB Available from $ 24.99 USD SKU: 9781461478911 The material in this book forms the basis of an interdisciplinary, college-level course, which uses science fiction film as a vehicle for exploring science concepts. Unlike traditional introductory-level courses, the science content is arranged according to major themes in science fiction, with a deliberate progression from the highly objective and discipline-specific (e.g. Reference Frames; Physics of Space Travel and Time Travel) to the very multi-disciplinary and thought-provoking (e.g. Human Teleportation; Science and Society). Over 100 references to science fiction films and television episodes are included, spanning more than 100 years of cinematic history. Some of these are conducive to calculations (solutions included).
