halfmanhalfbook 's review for:
The Science of Avatar
by Stephen Baxter
The premise of this book is to look at the world of Avatar and to see if the science in the film is feasible.
IT is split into several sections, and within those sections there are chapters on different aspects, for example space travel, the habitable zone from a star, the possibility of alien life forms and the whole environment that the film creates.
The science is not very deep, Baxter writes with some authority, but this is only an overview of known technology and speculation of what might be one day. The general conclusion is that almost all is plausible, but not for a while yet.
