Life as We Do Not Know It: The NASA Search for (and Synthesis Of) Alien Life Paperback - 2007
by Peter Ward
The author, a principal investigator for the NASA Astrobiology Institute, presents the latest data on the range of life that is scientifically possible on Earth and beyond.
Summary
For the past twenty years, Peter Ward has been at the forefront of popular science writing, with books such as the influential and controversial Rare Earth. In Life as We Do Not Know It, Ward, with his signature blend of eloquence, humor, and learned insight, vividly details the latest scientific findings, cutting-edge research, and intrepid new theories on the subject of alien life and the possible extraterrestrial origins of life on Earth. In lucid, entertaining, and bold prose, Peter Ward once again challenges our notions of life on earth (and beyond).
First line
The small submarine headed down toward the blackness of the deep sea bottom, thousands of feet below, and the cramped men inside could only wait out the seemingly endless descent, passing the time by peering through the Alvin's thick glass portholes.
