Examines each of these parameters in crucial depth and makes the
argument that life forms we would recognize may be more common in
our solar system than many assume. Considers exotic forms of life
that would not have to rely on carbon as the basic chemical
element, solar energy as the main energy source, or water as the
primary solvent and the question of detecting bio- and
geosignatures of such life forms, ranging from earth environments
to deep space. Seeks an operational definition of life and
investigate the realm of possibilities that nature offers to
realize this very special state of matter. Avoids scientific jargon
wherever possible to make this intrinsically interdisciplinary
subject understandable to a broad range of readers.
