About this book

Language: French

Creatures from films, graphic novels, comics…, fictional universes fascinate and are full of imaginary species that borrow their fantastic characteristics from very real species.

Illustrated like the anatomical plates of yesteryear, this book brings together some of the most emblematic figures of geek culture. It analyzes its specificities with the scientific method, based on the contributions of the natural sciences. You will discover, in their anatomy, habits, and environments, a bestiary rich in lessons, allowing us to arouse our curiosity and forge our critical sense in a playful way.

From Alien to Totoro, and Spider-Man to the Werewolf, mixing genres and eras, everyone finds their favourite characters. A real invitation to discover science differently!

Summary in French:
Créatures de films, BD, comics…, les univers fictionnels passionnent et regorgent d’espèces ­imaginaires ­qui ­empruntent leurs caractéristiques fantastiques aux espèces bien réelles.

Illustré à la manière des ­planches anatomiques d’antan, cet ouvrage rassemble les figures parmi les plus emblématiques de la culture geek. Il en analyse les spécificités avec la mé­­thode scientifique, en s’appuyant sur les apports des sciences naturelles. On découvre, dans leurs anatomies, habitudes, environnements, un bestiaire riche d’enseignements, permettant d’éveiller notre curio­sité et de forger de façon ludique notre sens ­critique.

D’Alien à Totoro, en passant par Spider-Man ou le Loup-garou, mélangeant les genres et les époques, chacun retrouve ses personnages favoris. Une véritable invitation à découvrir la science autrement !
