Several major breakthroughs in the last decade have helped
contribute to the emerging field of astrobiology. Focusing on these
developments, this fascinating book explores some of the most
important problems in this field. It examines how planetary systems
formed, and how water and the biomolecules necessary for life were
produced. It then focuses on how life may have originated and
evolved on Earth. Building on these two themes, the final section
takes the reader on a search for life elsewhere in the Solar
System. It presents the latest results of missions to Mars and
Titan, and explores the possibilities of life in the ice-covered
ocean of Europa. This interdisciplinary book is an enjoyable
overview of this exciting field for students and researchers in
astrophysics, planetary science, geosciences, biochemistry, and
evolutionary biology. Colour versions of some of the figures are
available at www.cambridge.org/9780521875486.
