Because I have not read every single title here and have relied on other peoples input, you may on occasion find a title that is not appropriate for the intended genre....please do let me know and I will remove it, just as if you find a title that needs to be added...that is appreciated as well.

    Political Science 488 The Philosophy of Time Travel Section 01 11:00-12:15 TTH Professor Information: Dr. Jeffrey C. Herndon Ferguson Social Science Building, 160 [email protected] Office Hours: 8:00-9:30 a.m. TTH 10:00-11:00 a.m. MW And by appointment Course Description: As the longest running science fiction program of all-time, Doctor Who has captivated audiences and created fans for more than 50 years. The premise is simple and complicated at the same time: tell the stories of a traveler (and the companions he picks up along the way) through time and space, battle aliens and monsters, rescue civilizations, let some civilizations die, destroy some civilizations, create civilizations, violate the laws of physics, maintain the integrity of the timeline and history (except in those instances in which the titular character chooses to change the timeline and history), etc., etc. (as I said, it is simple and complicated at the same time). In its original incarnation, Doctor Who was intended to be a children’s program imbued with educational content. The idea that Sidney Newman of the BBC had to was to disguise history lessons in a program about a time-traveling alien. Since its inception, though, the program has evolved although it remains educational. This course will be an examination of the lessons that can be learned from this particular piece of popular culture. Included will be discussions of history, ethics, philosophy, religion as expounded in the program throughout its more than fifty year journey. Douglas Adams once observed that the trick in writing Doctor Who was to make the show complex enough for children yet simple enough for their parents to understand.

AN EASY GOING BOOKPar Bruno.bI was not a big fan of the stargate tv series , a liitle childish to my taste. There is a stargate named the roundhouse in this book and the writer makes it a delight to find about it and to understand its implications. Furthermore it felt good traveling in North Dakota. There is a follow up to this story named Thunderbird which is as enjoyable.1 internautes sur 2 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile. Très bonne idée mal exploitéePar Francois LemaireL'intrigue part de la découverte d'un ensemble d'artefacts anciens mais incroyablement avancés dans le nord des USA. Les premières découvertes et la levée de certains pans du mystère se laissent lire avec plaisir, mais le roman s'enlise ensuite dans des considérations politiques sur les répercussions possibles de la découverte d'outils rendant obsolète une partie de nos industries qu'on peut trouver intéressante mais qui n'étaient pas vraiment ce que j'attendais.
