Light of the Stars tells a radically new story about what we are:
one world in a universe awash in planets. Building on his widely
discussed scientific papers and The New York Times op-eds,
astrophysicist Adam Frank shows that not only is it likely that
alien civilisations have existed many times before but that many of
them have driven their own worlds into dangerous eras of change. He
explains how dust storms on Mars, the greenhouse effect on Venus,
Gaia Theory, the threat of nuclear winter, and efforts to prove or
disprove the plurality of worlds from Aristotle to Copernicus to
Carl Sagan have contributed to our understanding of our place in
the universe and the growing challenge of climate change. And he
explores what may be the largest question of all: if there has been
life on other worlds, what its presence can tell us about our own
fate.
