Astrobiology: An Evolutionary Approach provides a full course in
astrobiology with an emphasis on abiogenesis and evolution. The
book presents astrobiology both as a developing science and as the
science of the future. The origins of life and the possibility of
life elsewhere continues to be a subject of scientific and
philosophical examination. These topics evolve with time as our
understanding of life itself and the laws of chemical and
biological evolution evolve. Astrobiology: An Evolutionary Approach
aims both to provide a foundation in astrobiology and to describe
the most challenging questions and problems in the field. The book
begins with an overview of astrobiology, the origin of elements,
and the formation of the solar system, planets, and exoplanets.
Other topics covered include prebiotic synthesis of biochemical
compounds, transition from abiotic to biotic, microorganisms in
space, the roles of silicon in life, encapsulation of organic
materials in protocells, cold and dry limits of life, virolution,
and more. The contributors explore different aspects of
astrobiology, reflecting the exciting journeys of their own
research. This book will inspire students to explore the endless
possibilities in astrobiology. The book includes end-of-chapter
questions, a glossary of terms, and recommended references, making
it ideal for use as a classroom text.
