From astrophysicist Adam Frank, a little book on the biggest
questions in our search for extraterrestrial life, questions we
stand ready to answer. Everyone is curious about life in the
Universe, UFOs and whether ET is out there. Over the course of his
thirty-year career as an astrophysicist, Adam Frank has
consistently been asked about the possibility of intelligent life
in the universe. Are aliens real? Where are they? Why haven't we
found them? What happens if we do? We've long been led to believe
that astronomers spend every night searching the sky for
extraterrestials, but the truth is we have barely started looking.
Not until now have we even known where to look or how. In The
Little Book of Aliens, Frank, a leading researcher in the field,
takes us on a journey to all that we know about the possibility of
life outside planet Earth and shows us the cutting-edge science
that has brought us to this unique moment in human history: the one
where we go find out for ourselves. In this small book with big
stakes, Frank gives us a rundown of everything we need to know,
from the scientific origins of the search for intelligent life, the
Fermi Paradox, the Kardashev Scale, the James Webb Telescope, as
well as UFOs and their conspiracy theories. Drawing from his own
work and that of other scientists studying the possibility of alien
life, he brings together the latest scientific thinking, data,
ideas, and discoveries to equip us with the critical facts as we
stand at what may be the last moment in human history where we
still believe we are all alone. This book is about everything we
do--and do not--know about life, intelligent or otherwise beyond
Earth. In language that is engaging, entertaining and fun, The
Little Book of Aliens provides a comprehensive first look at how
close we are to finding out if others actually exist--and if they
do, what they might be like. Humankind is on the precipice of
finding its neighbors. What comes next? No person is better suited
to answer that question--and lead the search--than Adam Frank.
