About this product

Product Information

The official guide to the science behind the Battlestar Galactica universe Battlestar Galactica ( BSG ) has been called the best show on television, and as real as science fiction gets. It has dealt with issues of religious freedom, patriotism, terrorism, genetic engineering, and the ultimate science fiction question: what does it mean to be human? While the re-imagined BSG may not be packed with cool techie tools (the bad guys don't even have laser guns for frak's sake!), this book shows that the science in the series has a lot to say about the use of science and technology in our lives today. What are the principles behind artificial gravity and sublight propulsion? Are Cylons men or machines? How are humanoid Cylons able to interface with computers? By tackling these and other intriguing questions, The Science of Battlestar Galactica takes us billions of miles away from Earth so that we can turn around and see ourselves from a different perspective. Tackles fans' most pressing BSG questions, from how an FTL drive might work to how the 12 colonies of Kobol could co-exist to the principles behind Gaius Baltar's Cylon-detector Features behind-the-scenes anecdotes, quotes from the BSG Series Bible, and over 60 photos Includes a foreword by BSG co-executive producer, Jane Espenson, and an afterword by actor, Richard Hatch, who played Tom Zarek in the reimagined series and Captain Apollo in the classic series Co-written by BSG 's scientific advisor and a Wired contributing editor Packed with must-know details and scientific background, this thought-provoking book will help you see Battlestar Galactica as never before.

Comprehensive, inexpensive to obtain, a lot of complexity
One of those things I didn't know I needed until I saw it. The book was in the flyer for the Caprica DVD. Went to eBay, easy & cheap. It covers a huge amount of stuff, but when they say "science" they ain't kidding! LOTS of graphs, charts, formulae etc. that's WAY beyond my brain... and I'm no dummy. But however, there's also a lot the layman can grasp and find interest in. There are quite a few photos from the show, but all is black & white. So bottom line: if you can swing it for $10-$15 or so, well worth the purchase.One of those things I didn't know I needed until I saw it. The book was in the flyer for the Caprica DVD.

a great book is see how much real science was in the program
I ordered this book because I am a fan the series both old and new and it is nice counter point ( the real science vs Hollywood) and stories by Mr Hatch and others) it arrived well protected by the postal system and was a little surprised by the depth of subjects the books covers and how well. I bought it as well for another reason, which is that Mr. Grazier and I once belonged to a sci fi fan club which is now gone.I ordered this book because I am a fan the series both old and new and it is nice counter point ( the real science vs Hollywood) and stories by Mr Hatch and others) it arrived well protected by the postal system and was a little surprised by the depth of subjects the books covers and how well.
