In this tale... two scientists... recover 14 dinosaur eggs. The eggs are carefully incubated, and they hatch bipedal dinosaurs about the same size as a medium-sized dog. One of them is accidentally electrocuted, and the scientists discover that their meat is truly exquisite. They become fabulously rich rearing and marketing dinosaur meat under the name of 'dinochicken.'"Ever since the discovery of the first fossil remains in the 19th century, dinosaurs have captured the imaginations of scientists and inspired writers, artists, and filmmakers. Dinosaurs, and legends about them are firmly entrenched in popular culture, where scientific information and our interest in the life of the past most often meet. Starring T. Rex! considers dinosaurs as a cultural phenomenon, seen as the interaction of three factors-paleontological discoveries, the cultural interest these discoveries awaken, and the possibilities they offer for commercial exploitation. José Luis Sanz explains that the knowledge generated by paleontologists enters popular culture at a mythological level and that the mass communication media (for example, science fiction literature, comic books, television, and movies) are the vehicles that link science and its reflection in culture.Sanz first analyzes the historical origins of the dinosaur myth in modern society. He then considers the manner in which information drawn from scientific study enters popular consciousness, discussing, among other things, the coexistence of men and dinosaurs, what dinosaurs looked like, extinction, the presence of dinosaurs in fantasy stories, and the relationship between dinosaurs and dragons.当店利用時のご注意・当店の商品は原則として、「個人輸入」としての取り扱いになり、アメリカ合衆国から直接お客様のもとへお届けいたします。商品の配送手続きのために、アメリカ合衆国の事業者へお客様の注文情報が提供されます。注文情報の提供について同意いただいた上でご注文ください。アメリカ合衆国の個人情報保護法制等について確認する場合は、こちらのページ「https://corp.rakuten.co.jp/privacy/data-transfers.html」をご参照ください。・関税・輸入消費税が課税される場合があります。・課税額はご注文時には確定しておらず、通関時に確定しますので、商品の受け取り時に着払いでお支払いください。・個人輸入される商品は、全てご注文者自身の「個人使用・個人消費(日本に居住する者に寄贈される物で、当該寄贈を受ける者の個人的な使用に供される場合を含みます。)」が前提となります。第三者への譲渡・転売が法令で禁止されるもの(医薬品、医薬部外品、化粧品等を含みますが、これに限られません。)もございますのでご注意下さい。・商品お届けまでに、10日間程度かかります。
