{"product_id":"9780262539616","title":"Fire, Ice, and Physics","description":"\u003cp\u003eGame of Thrones is a fantasy that features a lot of made-up science--fabricated climatology (when is winter coming?), astronomy, metallurgy, chemistry, and biology. Most fans of George R. R. Martin's fantastical world accept it all as part of the magic. A trained scientist, watching the fake science in Game of Thrones, might think, \"But how would it work?\" In Fire, Ice, and Physics, Rebecca Thompson turns a scientist's eye on Game of Thrones, exploring, among other things, the science of an ice wall, the genetics of the Targaryen and Lannister families, and the biology of beheading. Thompson, a PhD in physics and an enthusiastic Game of Thrones fan, uses the fantasy science of the show as a gateway to some interesting real science, introducing GOT fandom to a new dimension of appreciation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45376131235919,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":628.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9780262539616-1.jpg?v=1780186499","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/en\/products\/9780262539616","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
