Item description from seller

Science fiction cinema has had a dramatic effect on how science is perceived by the general population.

Even though "fiction" is the key word in science fiction, there are many examples of yesterday's science fiction becoming today's science. This book explores the creative and imaginative elements of biology seen in 20th century science fiction films. Written by a professional scientist and science fiction lover, this second edition includes recent updates of biomedical science and science fiction cinema. It covers different categories of biology, biochemistry (or molecular biology), and medicine, each subcategorized into chapters such as cell biology, hematology, and dermatology. Within each chapter are several science fiction cinema examples explaining the biological sciences principles involved, what is right and what is wrong with the science, and what changes could be made for the science of the film to become a reality.…
