Astrobiology is a multidisciplinary pursuit that in various guises
encompasses astronomy, chemistry, planetary and Earth sciences, and
biology. It relies on mathematical, statistical, and computer
modeling for theory, and space science, engineering, and computing
to implement observational and experimental work. Consequently,
when studying astrobiology, a broad scientific canvas is needed.
For example, it is now clear that the Earth operates as a system;
it is no longer appropriate to think in terms of geology, oceans,
atmosphere, and life as being separate. Reflecting this
multiscience approach, Astrobiology: An Introduction: Covers topics
such as stellar evolution, cosmic chemistry, planet formation,
habitable zones, terrestrial biochemistry, and exoplanetary systems
Discusses the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life
in the universe in an accessible manner, sparing calculus, curly
arrow chemistry, and modeling details Contains problems and worked
examples, and includes a solutions manual with qualifying course
adoption Astrobiology: An Introduction provides a full introduction
to astrobiology suitable for university students at all levels.
