<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"From the physics of journeys into deep space to the chemistry of anti gravity unobtainium, and from Pandora's extraordinary flora and fauna to the possibility of transferring consciousness, Baxter reveals that we are sometimes closer to the world of Avatar than we might imagine."--P. [4] of cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Audiences around the world have been enchanted by James Cameron's visionary <i>Avatar</i>, with its glimpse of the Na'vi on the marvelous world of Pandora. But the movie is not entirely a fantasy; there is a scientific rationale for much of what we saw on the screen, from the possibility of travel to other worlds, to the life forms seen on screen and the ecological and cybernetic concepts that underpin the 'neural networks' in which the Na'vi and their sacred trees are joined, as well as to the mind-linking to the avatars themselves. <p/>From popular science journalist and acclaimed science fiction author Stephen Baxter, <i>The Science of Avatar</i> is a guide to the rigorous fact behind the fiction. It will enhance the readers' enjoyment of the movie experience by drawing them further into its imagined world.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Stephen Baxter</b> is the pre-eminent science fiction writer of his generation. Published around the world, he has won major awards in the UK, US, Germany and Japan. Born in 1957 he has degrees from Cambridge and Southampton Universities. He lives in Northumberland with his wife. <p/>www.stephen-baxter.com
