This collection of essays by academic experts delves into the scientific possibilities, impossibilities, and inspirations in Tolkien's world. It's clear that the writers are fans of Tolkien and his creations--why else would they habe agreed to this? Their hypotheses and analyses are whimsical yet rooted in actual science. I appreciated the range of topics amd found nearly every essay fascinating.

Fun comparison/contrast essays of Tolkien’s world with our hard sciences (and a bit of social sciences)
