	Commander John Crichton - Farscape Pilot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		John Crichton is the son of an ol’ spacedog NASA astronaut (once walked in space). He has a PhD in Theoretical Sciences and a refreshing lack of testosterone.
		Crichton theorised that if a ship could be made to use the Earths Atmosphere and gravity to increase acceleration (a sort of slingshot effect), the ship would not only break Earth’s orbit, but increase speed to such an extent that it would be able to reach other planets and even stars.
		When Crichton emerged from the wormhole he quickly learned that he was a long way from home and had been thrust into a pitch battle between the Peacekeepers and a large but sleek Leviathan spaceship called Moya.

	State Of Fear by Michael Crichton: Reviews
		If Crichton were around in the 1930s and had written a condemning novel on eugenics back then when it was vogue, parallel to what he did now on global warming, the same lock-step icons of the eugenics pseudo-science would have similarly whined.
		Like Crichton's fictious professor who said that the end of the Cold War required that we have a new 'enemy', aparently there were some elite who were already conjuring something like this in the 60s.
		Crichton insists that Global Warming is not happening and uses a large amount of scientific data to back this.

	Michael Crichton and Global Warming
		The plot of Crichton's 14th novel is notable mainly for its nuttiness—an MIT professor fights a wellfunded network of eco-terrorists trying to kill thousands by creating spectacular "natural" disasters.
		Crichton rejects many of the conclusions reached by the National Academy of Sciences and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—for example, he does not believe that global temperature increases in recent decades are most likely the result of human activities.
		Crichton is especially harsh in his portrayal of other members of the Hollywood elite, though his critique extends more broadly to the news media, intelligentsia and general public.

	RealClimate » Michael Crichton’s State of Confusion II: Return of the Science
		Crichton would have been well served if he had read this tutorial on the distinction between the two, or perhaps this one and especially, this one.
		Crichton also had an article in the December 5 Parade (Included in many Sunday papers) promoting his book and lambasting "scientific predictions of doom." He claimed, once again, that there were widespred predictions of doom from a cooling planet made in the 1970s.
		Crichton's example of Wegener and continental drift is actually an example I use to describe the way science is supposed to work.

	RealClimate » Michael Crichton’s State of Confusion L’état de confusion de Michael Crichton
		Michael Crichton's new novel "State of Fear" is about a self-important NGO hyping the science of the global warming to further the ends of evil eco-terrorists.
		Crichton next raises the apparently unrecognised (by the lawyer character at least) fact that the interior of Antarctica is cooling (p196), an issue discussed in another post (Antarctica cooling, global warming?).
		Though not specifically in relation to Crichton's book, http://www.info-pollution.com/myths.htm will also be a useful tool in taking it apart: it has a large section about DDT and the so-called DDT "ban" which allegedly led to millions of deaths, another dubious claim that Crichton twists in much the same way as climate change.

		In Prey, bestselling author Michael Crichton introduces bad guys that are too small to be seen with the naked eye but no less deadly or intriguing than the runaway dinosaurs that made 1990's Jurassic Park such a blockbuster success.
		In the novel's first third, Crichton, shades of his Disclosure, smartly explores sexual politics as Jack struggles with self-image and his growing suspicion that his dynamic wife, Julia, a v-p for the technology firm Xymos, is having an affair.
		The problem, as Crichton explains in several of the myriad (and not always seamlessly integrated) science lessons that bolster the narrative, is that groups of simple agents acting on simple instructions, without a central control, will evolve unpredictable, complex behaviors (e.g., termites building a termite mound).

		1969: Crichton graduates from Harvard Medical school and is accepted as a post-doctoral fellow at the Salk Institute for Biological Science in La Jolla, Calif. However, his career in medicine is waylaid by the publication of the first novel under his own name, The Andromeda Strain.
		Crichton dramatizes his message by way of a frantic chase to prevent environmental terrorists from wreaking widespread destruction aimed at galvanizing the world against global warming.
		Certainly one of the more unusual novels of the year for its high-level mix of education and entertainment, with a decidedly daring contrarian take, this take-no-prisoners consideration of environmentalism wrapped in extravagantly enjoyable pages is one of the most memorable novels of the year and is bound to be a #1 bestseller.

	Fear of reason \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Michael Crichton has taken us to fantastic places like Jurassic Park and into realistic ones, as in his TV series "ER." But now he ventures into rugged scientific terrain, and loses his footing.
		To believe Crichton and company, you have to believe that there's a vast conspiracy – involving the editors of Science, Nature, Scientific American and some dozen other peer-reviewed journals – to exclude and reject climate skeptics papers.
		Benford is a professor of physics at UC Irvine and the author of "Deep Time" and the science-fiction Nebula award-winning "Timescape." Hoffert is professor of physics at New York University and lead author of studies on stabilizing climate change from the fossil fuel greenhouse that have appeared in Nature and Science.

		Crichton for the opportunity to set the record straight about the very real dangers of global warming and to spotlight the real debate: how will we act to solve this problem?
		A summary of these and other findings from the past few years, including information on arctic melting, hurricane intensity, air pollution, and other consequences can be found here.

		Michael Crichton takes us back to the complex world of computer technology in his latest book, a non-stop page-turner about a cloud of nanoparticles -- manmade micromachines -- that have escaped (or were they released?) from a laboratory in the Nevada desert and proceed to raise all kinds of mayhem.
		Crichton is at his best when he writes about abstruse scientific and technical concepts in such a way that even the most hopeless techno-nitwit (like this reviewer) can understand what he's talking about.
		Over the years Michael Crichton has provided some fine entertainment, but you have to wonder exactly when it became federal law that "techno-thrillers" must be stiff and awkward, serving up by-the-numbers storytelling, typecast characters and humdrum dialogue.

	TV Review: Farscape - 'The Maltese Crichton'
		Crichton is still alive, Clavor tells Cargn, and can be reconstituted if his parts are reunited.
		One of Farscape’s unwritten rules is that Crichton is the center of the action, and so he gets restored by the end of Act I. That’s a little unfortunate — there were so many people after that head that it might have been fun to watch a few more rounds of plot and counterplot.
		On the other hand, "The Maltese Crichton" is the final hour of a mammoth three-part story, and they need every minute of the last three acts to wrap everything up.

		Crichton experiences are laughably irrational and I was horrified that such a brilliant man would do the most illogical and bizzare things.
		Yes, a lot of it is like a time trip into the 70s (auras, bending spoons, esp) but since Crichton is SO well educated and smart, it makes it much more interesting to read about than from some new agey-type that you can just write off as being a weirdo.
		Crichton shows its okay to explore these areas, whether you choose to embrace their existence or not depends on your experience.

		It is an entertaining chronicle, at times hilarious and sad, and ultimately a strong argument for the need for all of us to have "direct experience", reinforcing his view that we also need greater insight into the mystical as well as the scientific, in order to truly understand ourselves and existence.
		Michael Crichton can write well (with the clear exception of State of Fear), and he shares his adventures, his "travels." These travels are his travels through medical school, in search of adventure in out-of-the-way places, and his search for "the power of the mind" [my words, not his].
		As Crichton hangs around with "friends" interested in pursuing sex with children in Thailand, he states he is not interested, but "boys will be boys" [again, my words].

	Michael Crichton's new screed. By Bryan Curtis - Slate Magazine
		For Crichton's fans, this has got to be heartbreaking: The boy-novelist who engineered a tyrannosaurus in Jurassic Park and mysterious pathogens from outer space in The Andromeda Strain has become a political pamphleteer, a right-wing noodge.
		Crichton described his human characters as a field biologist describes a giraffe: "He was surprisingly tall, maybe a hundred and ninety centimeters, well over six feet." Crichton's marauding adventurers were invariably white men with advanced degrees—paleontologists, psychologists, lawyers.
		Crichton is like a college professor who insists on lecturing 10 minutes after the class period ends, when his students are edging toward the door.
