"With the possible exception of the God question, I can think of no
subject that has inspired such wide-eyed wonder and speculation as
the matter of whether or not we are alone in the cosmos. The search
for extraterrestrial intelligence today has almost theological
status in terms of its implications, and yet it is a rigorous
science conducted by world-class scientists. Jeffrey Bennett's book
is one of the finest primers on this burgeoning new field. And even
though this can be a technically daunting science, Bennett's highly
readable prose invites everyone into the dome to gaze through the
telescope to have a look for themselves, for this is a journey we
are all on together."--Michael Shermer, publisher of "Skeptic" and
columnist for "Scientific American"
"Bennett describes the search for life beyond the Earth in terms
that are accessible to the nonscientist and yet reveal a broad
understanding of the evolution of stars, planets, and organisms.
The author's optimism is contagious. May it help inspire us to
actually accomplish these lofty goals."--James F. Kasting,
Pennsylvania State University
