The search of life beyond this planet seems to be one that increasingly consumes us. Imagine the fuss if we ever found any. The authors here try to take stock of the current state of thought on the subject and extrapolate from that to determine whether there is life on other planets, both in our solar system and beyond. This is done with rigorous research and writing and they reach some serious conclusions. (Kirkus UK)
This book summarizes and presents the scientific search for life in the universe, and the current level of scientific understanding of how life begins, grows, and becomes intelligent in our Solar System and beyond. This engaging book promises to appeal not only to the general reader but to scientists as well, many of whom strive to acquire an informed perspective on the search for extraterrestrial life in fields not their own.
