>The quest for extraterrestrial life doesn't happen only in science fiction.
>This book describes the startling discoveries being made in the very real
>science of astrobiology, an intriguing new field that blends astronomy,
>biology, and geology to explore the possibility of life on other planets.
>
>"In cogent and entertaining language, astrophysicist and popular writer
>Bennett explains that the determining factor in whether we can locate
>intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is whether such a
>civilization--and our own--can continue long enough to develop the highly
>sophisticated technology needed for interstellartravel...Bennett does a
>wonderful job of explaining the conditions necessary for simple life, how
>we might discern its existence and where we should be looking. He then does
>the same thing for intelligent life. While he is fair to those who believe
>life is incredibly rare, he makes a compelling case that life is likely to
>be abundant."--Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
