The aim of this first book is to introduce the readers of the
series to why Cuatro Cienegas Basin (CCB) is so unique, starting
with the reason why astrobiologists became interested in this oasis
in the first place; namely, the high diversity and abundance of
stromatolites and microbial mats in continental waters to be found
in the desert oasis. As NASA has long since discovered, the basin
may offer the best analog of early Earth. In essence, CCB is a time
machine that can take us far back and forth in time. In the
respective chapters, the contributing authors explain the
extraordinary microbial diversity of Cuatro Cienegas Basin from
various perspectives. In order to do so, they explain their journey
as well as the different tools used to unravel the basin's
mysteries, such as: Why are there so many species in a place
without food? How has life there survived the enormity of tectonic
shifts through the ages, maintaining its ancient marine heritage?
