{"product_id":"a-biographical-dictionary-of-science-robert-weinberg-9780313243493","title":"A Biographical Dictionary of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists","description":"\u003cp\u003eWeinberg's work is so ground-breaking, his research so arduous, and his precursors in this field so generally unhelpful that we must regard this as charting virtually unexplored waters. There is nothing really to compare the book to, and there is not likely to be a more complete such book in the near future. Weinberg deserves the thanks of anyone seriously interested in what we might call the cultural history of SF, and his book belongs in any collection that purports to represent that history. \u003ci\u003eScience Fiction Studies\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile there have been numerous books published over the past few decades on the subject of science fiction and fantasy books and movies, almost no attention has been paid to science fiction and fantasy artists. Although a number of picture books emerged in recent years, only a limited number have provided any significant information. This comprehensive biographical dictionary represents one of the first research efforts in the field of science fiction art. It is not an art book, but rather a book about artists. As one of the first comprehensive biographical dictionaries, it was intended to serve as a catalyst to stimulate further scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Weinberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313243492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313243493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/1988","brand":"Robert Weinberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086474359039,"sku":"9780313243493","price":96.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25160539-08e8-4735-8bcb-027e6c7823cc.jpg?v=1769094872","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-biographical-dictionary-of-science-robert-weinberg-9780313243493","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
