Barrie Jones addresses the question "are we alone?", which is one
of the most frequently asked questions by scientists and
non-scientists alike. In The Search for Life Continued, this
question is addressed scientifically, and the author is not afraid
to include speculation. Indeed, the author believes beyond
reasonable doubt that we are not alone and this belief is based
firmly on frontier science of the most imaginative kind. The author
concentrates on planetary systems beyond our own but starts with
life on Earth, which is the only life we know to exist, and which
provides guidance on how best to search for life elsewhere. Planets
are the most likely abode of life and so we start the quest with
the search for planets beyond the Solar System - exoplanets. The
methods of searching are outlined and the nature of hundreds of
exoplanetary systems so far discovered described. In the near
future we expect to discover habitable Earth-like planets. But are
they actually inhabited? How could we tell? All will be revealed.
This full color book is written for everybody who wants to stay in
close contact with the latest on possible life on other planets.
