| Description: |
A study of alien biology, a subject with bounds and constraints, the authors plumb with verve and intelligence. This book gives a much-needed antidote to the pessimism of astrobiologists who maintain that we are alone in the universe a stance based on a very narrow view of what could constitute life. |
| Synopsis: |
"A fascinating and useful handbook to both the science and science fiction of extraterrestrial life. Cohen and Stewart are amusing, opinionated, and expert guides. I found it a terrific and informative piece of work nothing else like it!" - Greg Bear. "I loved it." - Larry Niven. "Ever wonder about what aliens could be like! The world authority is Jack Cohen, a professional biologist who has thought long and hard about the vast realm of possibilities. This is an engaging, swiftly moving study of alien biology, a subject with bounds and constraints these authors plumb with verve and intelligence." - Gregory Benford. "A celebration of life off Earth. A hearteningly optimistic book, giving a much-needed antidote to the pessimism of astrobiologists who maintain that we are alone in the universe a stance based on a very narrow view of what could constitute life. A triumph of speculative nonfiction." - Dougal Dixon, author of "After Man: A Zoology of the Future". |
