          Book Review: The Living Universe

          Summary - (Dec 10, 2004) Some people sit in the tub, yell "Eureka", and come up with a brand new view of matter. Others can be riding a trolley home and at the sight of a clock initiate a whole new concept of time. Yet another more pedantic method is to follow government procedures to resolve riddles. Steven Dick and James Strick in their book, The Living Universe - NASA and the development of Astrobiology<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/081353447X/universetoday>, narrate how this occurred for the new academic field of astrobiology. Though perhaps not as film-worthy as instantaneous flashes, the four decades of meetings, workshops and programs described therein show that this distinct academic area had an eventful and exciting coming of age.
