Yet for many--call them the \"\u003ci\u003eJurassic Park\u003c\/i\u003e generation\"--film and popular media can present a seemingly plausible melding of science and fiction that forms a distorted understanding of scientific facts and concepts. Recognizing that film is both the dominant entertainment medium and an effective tool for teaching, this book--featuring articles originally published in the magazine \u003ci\u003eScary Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e--separates biological reality from fantasy in dozens of science fiction films, including \u003ci\u003eThe Island of Lost Souls\u003c\/i\u003e (1933), \u003ci\u003eThe Incredible Shrinking Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1957), \u003ci\u003eWar of the Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e (1953), \u003ci\u003eA Clockwork Orange\u003c\/i\u003e (1971), \u003ci\u003eScanners\u003c\/i\u003e (1980), \u003ci\u003eThe Serpent and the Rainbow\u003c\/i\u003e (1987) and \u003ci\u003eOutbreak\u003c\/i\u003e (1995).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark C.
