- Synopsis
- It takes a starship to raise a child. Or a time machine. Or a tribe of elves. Fortunately, Geek Parenting offers all that and more, with thoughtful mini-essays that reveal profound child-rearing advice (and mistakes) from the most beloved tales of geek culture. Nerds and norms alike can take counsel from some of the most iconic parent-child pairings found in pop culture: Aunt May and Peter Parker, Benjamin and Jake Sisko, Elrond and Arwen, even Cersei and Joffrey. Whether you're raising an Amazon princess, a Jedi Padawan, a brooding vampire, or a standard-issue human child, Geek Parenting helps you navigate the ion storms, alternate realities, and endless fetch quests that come with being a parent. Includes parenting experts from across time and space, such as:Luke and VaderKorra and TenzinWednesday and Morticia AddamsFrodo and BilboRose and Jackie TylerCarl and MichonneThor, Loki, and OdinStarbuck, Apollo and AdamaStewie and LoisSarah Manning and Mrs. S.T'Challa and T'ChakaSpock, Sarek, and AmandaClaudia and LestatSan and MoroPerseus and ZeusDorothy and Auntie EmBruce Wayne and AlfredBuffy and GilesMeg Murry and Aunt BeastOrpheus and MorpheusPaul Atreides and Lady JessicaKal-El and Jor-ElChakotay and KolopakScott and Dr. EvilDiana and HippolytaAlexander and Worf
