The Real Science Behind the X Files: Microbes, Meteorites, and Mutants

318 S., 24cm Zustand: Pappeinband, sehr guter Zustand mit Schutzumschlag --- Inhalt: englischer Text. For a good part of the 1990s, tens of millions of Americans have been abducted every week -- not by aliens, but by a television show featuring fare such as extraterrestrial cancer implants and genetically engineered human clones. Mark Twain might have been talking about The X-Files when he wrote that truth is stranger than fiction because "fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; truth isn`t." The Truth (which is famously "out there" in the show`s credits) is actually in there, or, rather, in here, because dozens of the wildest and most speculative story lines in the hit series are well and truly inspired by discoveries from the world of science. And a lot of that inspiration comes from the job of Anne Simon, Ph.D., the world-class virologist enlisted by X-Files creator Chris Carter to serve as the show`s science advisor.
