The Voyages of Star Trek - A Mirror on American Society Through Time

This volume looks at how each Star Trek series reflected the cultural landscape of its time-from the original series that ran from 1966-1969 to the most recent iteration-and how it became a worldwide phenomenon, not only generating numerous spin-offs and multiple features but inspiring countless other pop culture shows, films, books, etc.
