The Science of Dune, Edited by Kevin R. Grazier

The Science of Dune: An Unauthorized Exploration into the Real Science behind Frank Herbert's Fictional Universe (Science of Pop Culture series)

This book is pretty bad. There are lots of editing problems. Basically every chapter says the same thing, "Um, it's cool, but not sure how it would really work." And that gets a little tedious after a while. If you are a Dune fanatic, you'll probably like it. The best chapters are the ones of the sandworms and the stillsuits.
