- Summary
- This encyclopedia "is an A-to-Z of the search for life in the Universe. Entries cover astrobiology, the origins and evolution of life, the hunt for exoplanets, SETI, and extraterrestrial life in science fiction, philosophy, and popular speculation (including UFOs). The book is written in an engaging style for the layperson and contains numerous B&W illustrations. Historically, the book ranges from ancient Greek ideas about other worlds and life to the results from the latest interplanetary probes. Through a comprehensive system of cross-referencing, it is designed to allow the reader to trace the development and interaction of the key themes that have accompanied the debate about life 'out there' from ancient times to the present day.
