Great contents, fair book copy

The contents of the book are absolutely great and perfect for needs, but my issue is I ordered a "good" copy of the book, but my copy seems to be ah, closer to a "fair" copy than a "good" copy. Not the worst deal but first time I've dealt with this. 10/10 for the book contents tho

cool and provocative

Not just for geeks--fun look at the x-men's paradigms and how they hold up as science.

The Science of the X-Men

This was a terrific book.Yaco comes up with plausible explanations for how the X-Men's powers might work. Some of it's drawn from the frontiers of physics.There's obviously a lot of scholarship behind this book, but Yaco has a gift for writing simply and engagingly about complex ideas. His style is more playful than preachy. I especially liked the material on Iceman and Angel. Any true fan of the X-Men would treasure this book!

Vey Interesting Read

I never knew that the X-men were so scientific. I am glad that the author put most of my favorite X-Men such as Colossus,Havoc,Nightcrawler,Shadowcat,Iceman,Cyclops, and Angel. I am mad that they didn't use Banshee,Jubliee,and Gambit.Yet,overall it was a good read.

Awsome

This book explains every scientific thought of how the x-men "mutants" could really happen. The thought of the enhanced evolution is so belirvable! I think every x-men fan should own this!
