A trio of editors [Professors from Austria, Germany and Israel]
present Life on Earth and other Planetary Bodies. The contributors
are from twenty various countries and present their research on
life here as well as the possibility for extraterrestrial life.
This volume covers concepts such as life's origin, hypothesis of
Panspermia and of life possibility in the Cosmos. The topic of
extraterrestrial life is currently 'hot' and the object of several
congresses and conferences. While the diversity of "normal" biota
is well known, life on the edge of the extremophiles is more
limited and less distributed. Other subjects discussed are
Astrobiology with the frozen worlds of Mars, Europa and Titan where
extant or extinct microbial life may exist in subsurface oceans;
conditions on icy Mars with its saline, alkaline, and liquid water
which has been recently discovered; chances of habitable Earth-like
[or the terrestrial analogues] exoplanets; and SETI's search for
extraterrestrial Intelligence.
