Dune Series PHD Episode 01 General Introduction to Frank Herbert's Dune Series

Evolution, Ecology and the Messianic Hero are the dominant themes in Frank Herbert's Dune Series. Join me, Doc Sloan, here on board my Science Fiction station as I take you on a journey to the planet Arrakis, also known as Dune.
This episode looks at studying science fiction, and I discuss why I chose to undertake a Ph.D. on Frank Herbert's Dune Series.
This is the first of five introductory videos setting the scene for looking into these unusual science fiction books. The following episodes look at other existing studies of the Dune Series, before presenting a biography on Frank Herbert and a brief discussion on the two eras of science fiction that his work intersected.
This is to give you the background and knowledge of this great science fiction writer, before we fully explore the Dune Series and attempt to understand these books famed for their ecological message.
