This volume explores neuroscience in science fiction films, focusing on neuroscience and psychiatry as running themes in SF and finding correlations between turning points in \"neuroscience fiction\" and advances in the scientific field. The films covered include \u003ci\u003eThe Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Island of Dr. Moreau, Robocop, The Stepford Wives, The Mind Snatchers\u003c\/i\u003e and iconic franchises like \u003ci\u003eTerminator, Ironman\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePlanet of the Apes\u003c\/i\u003e. Examining the parallel histories of psychiatry, neuroscience and cinema, this book shows how science fiction films offer insightful commentary on the scientific and philosophical developments of their times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharon Packer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786472340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786472345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Sharon Packer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072765325567,"sku":"9780786472345","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_214318ea-f5ae-4f74-b1a3-7f0feef9f88a.jpg?v=1685443863","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/neuroscience-in-science-fiction-films-sharon-packer-9780786472345","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
