The interdisciplinary field of Astrobiology constitutes a joint
arena where provocative discoveries are coalescing concerning, e.g.
the prevalence of exoplanets, the diversity and hardiness of life,
and its increasingly likely chances for its emergence. Biologists,
astrophysicists, biochemists, geoscientists and space scientists
share this exciting mission of revealing the origin and commonality
of life in the Universe. The members of the different disciplines
are used to their own terminology and technical language. In the
interdisciplinary environment many terms either have redundant
meanings or are completely unfamiliar to members of other
disciplines. The Encyclopedia of Astrobiology serves as the key to
a common understanding. Each new or experienced researcher and
graduate student in adjacent fields of astrobiology will appreciate
this reference work in the quest to understand the big picture. The
carefully selected group of active researchers contributing to this
work and the expert field editors intend for their contributions,
from an internationally comprehensive perspective, to accelerate
the interdisciplinary advance of astrobiology. This new edition
offers ~300 new entries. Many entries were expanded or supplemented
by figures supporting the understanding of the text. Especially in
the field of astrochemistry there is a huge body of new results
that have been taken into account in this new edition. The synonyms
and keywords have been carefully revisited. Many were added,
redundant ones deleted.
