Product Description
The study of life and its existence in the universe, known as astrobiology, is one of the hottest areas of scientific research today. Dartnell discusses the latest theories on what 'life' is, and where in the universe it might be found, and introduces some of the most extreme lifeforms on Earth - those thriving in boiling acid or huddled around deep-sea volcanoes. Taking us on a sweeping tour of the solar system and beyond, he reveals our profound connection to the cosmos, and considers one of the most pressing questions facing scientists today: "is there anything out there?"
