In. Spaaaaace -- Putting Science in, Not Taking Drama Out: The Culture of Hollywood.Informative, entertaining and upbeat, this book continues Grazier and Cass's exploration of how technology, science, and scientists are portrayed in Hollywood productions. Both big and small-screen productions are featured and their science content illuminated—first by the authors and subsequently by a range of experts from science and the film world. Starring roles in this volume are played by, among other things, computers (human and mechanical), artificial intelligences, robots, and spacecraft. Interviews with writers, producers, and directors of acclaimed science-themed films stand side by side with the perspectives of scientists, science fiction authors, and science advisors. The result is a stimulating and informative reading experience for the layperson and professional scientist or engineer alike. The book begins with a foreword by Zack Stentz, who co-wrote X-Men: First Class and Thor, and is currently a writer/producer on CW’s The Flash.Science and Fiction,2197-1188PhysicsScience—Social aspectsScienceStudy and teachingPerforming artsSociologyPopular Science in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q29000Societal Aspects of Physics, Outreach and Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P34000Science Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O27000Performing Artshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415030Knowledge - Discoursehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22120Physics.Science—Social aspects.ScienceStudy and teaching.Performing arts.Sociology.Popular Science in Physics.Societal Aspects of Physics, Outreach and Education.Science Education.Performing Arts.Knowledge - Discourse.791.4366Grazier Kevin Rauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut792301Cass Stephenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910254599603321Hollyweird Science: The Next Generation1939135UNINA
