Subject: David Grinspoon's LONELY PLANETS
Greetings Terrestrials!
David Grinspoon's new book is almost here! LONELY PLANETS: The Natural Philosophy of Alien Life is a provocative blend of science, history, philosophy and memoir, which uses the question of alien life as a mirror on human awareness, desires and potential.
"David Grinspoon brings together what has never before been synthesized: the history, science, culture, and politics of the search for life in the universe. Along the way, you will not escape his practical and often humorous observations of the quest; he is a planetary scientist as well as a dreamer, borne of the space age."
Neil de Grasse Tyson - Director of the Hayden Planetarium.
"A thorough and thoroughly readable review of our chances for finding life on other worlds, and what this may mean to us. Breezy yet deep, fun to read and thought-provoking."
Ben Bova - President Emeritus of the National Space Society.
