About This Item
Reaktion Books, 2006. Softcover. Very Good. Illustrated glossy softcovers. 239 pp. with index. Illustrated with photos and reproductions. Very good or somewhat better, slight bumping to the outer tips of the front cover. The author explores the genealogy of the cinematic scientist in films made in Hollywood and in western Europe. The fictional scientist in film was often used to represent the prevailing phobias of the time: in the 1920s it was poison gas; by the 1950s it ws botched atomic research; later it was genetic engineering.
