Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Beginning with the Big Bang and formation of the universe, this richly illustrated book explores the emergence of life on Earth and beyond. "Astrobiology" looks to other planets to summarize what is known and what can be learned from our studies of the Earth, solar system and galaxy. 105 color photos.

Book News Annotation:

Grady (head of petrology and meteoritics at The Natural History Museum) provides a general reader's introduction to a relatively old area of inquiry—whether and where there is life elsewhere in the universe. Using dozens of large color photos and diagrams, she describes how life evolved on Earth, the likeliness of life in other parts of the solar system, the search for Earth-like planets, and SETI.
