Astrobiology involves the study of the origin and history of life
on Earth, planets and moons where life may have arisen, and the
search for extraterrestrial life. It combines the sciences of
biology, chemistry, palaeontology, geology, planetary physics and
astronomy. This textbook brings together world experts in each of
these disciplines to provide the most comprehensive coverage of the
field currently available. Topics cover the origin and evolution of
life on Earth, the geological, physical and chemical conditions in
which life might arise and the detection of extraterrestrial life
on other planets and moons. The book also covers the history of our
ideas on extraterrestrial life and the origin of life, as well as
the ethical, philosophical and educational issues raised by
astrobiology. Written to be accessible to students from diverse
backgrounds, this text will be welcomed by advanced undergraduates
and graduates who are taking astrobiology courses.
