Astrobiology, the study of life and its existence in the universe,
is now one of the hottest areas of both popular science and serious
academic research, fusing biology, chemistry, astrophysics, and
geology. In this masterful introduction, Lewis Dartnell explores
its latest findings, and delves into some of the most fascinating
questions in science. What actually is 'life'? Could it exist on
other planets? Could alien cells be based on silicon rather than
carbon, or need ammonia instead of water? Introducing some of the
most extreme lifeforms on Earth - those thriving in boiling acid or
huddled around deep-sea volcanoes - Dartnell takes us on a tour of
the universe to reveal how deeply linked we are to our cosmic
environment, and shows why the Earth is so uniquely suited for the
development of life.
