« Star Wars » dominates the film world. The combined box office revenue of the Star Wars movies equates to over 10 billion dollars, making it the second highest-grossing film franchise of all time. But this franchise is no blaster from the past. Its fantastically successful films have now been followed by multiple television series set in that same galaxy far, far away. The franchise's flagship television series, and likely the firmest fan favorite for some time to come, is The Mandalorian. Tracing the tale of the titular bounty hunter, traveling across the furthest reaches of that mythic galaxy, The Mandalorian has been greatly praised and highly acclaimed for creating characters with gravitas and originality, worlds with depth and impact, resulting in some of the best Star Wars content ever. Even though it's set in deep space, The Mandalorian has as much in common with Western movies as it does with science fiction. Saloons. Bandits. "Gun" duels. Bounty hunters. Outlaws with a price on their heads. Space exploration as a « final frontier ». And a wild hero who doesn't quite belong in a lawless part of the Galaxy after the fall of the Empire. The book takes you on a badass journey with a mysterious, lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, where your beskar armor will protect you from many things, but not the sight of a small, green, carnivorous humanoid with big black eyes and mysterious powers. This is the way.

La quatrième de couverture indique : "Ce livre décortique le monde du petit sorcier sous un prisme nouveau : celui des sciences. Cette rencontre entre la magie et les sciences lie les deux univers de façon ludique, originale et toujours empreinte de l'esprit vif et malicieux de sa créatrice J. K. Rowling. A travers quatre grandes thématiques, ce livre passe en revue les singularités du monde ensorcelant de Harry Potter : Philosophie magique ; Ruses et gadgets techniques ; Botanique, zoologie et potions ; Pot-pourri magique. Vous découvrirez que les frontières entre notre monde et celui de la magie sont parfois plus ténues qu'on ne peut le penser. Mark Brake et Jon Chase nous démontrent que nous pouvons aujourd'hui accomplir certains exploits magiques. Qui n'a jamais rêvé de créer l'horloge de la famille Weasley ou sa propre carte du Maraudeur ? Mais comment ? Grâce aux sciences, tout simplement ! Avec elles, nous avons désormais la possibilité de devenir tous un peu sorcier !"
