The Science of Middle-Earth: A New Understanding of Tolkien and His World by Roland Lehoucq, Loïc Mangin, Jean-Sébastien Steyer

4.0

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.
