The possibility of life : science, imagination, and our quest for kinship in the cosmos / Jaime Green.

Green, Jaime, (author.).

Summary:

"One of the most powerful questions humans ask about the cosmos is: Are we alone? While the science behind this inquiry is fascinating, it doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is a reflection of our values, our fears, and most importantly, our enduring sense of hope. In The Possibility of Life, acclaimed science journalist Jaime Green traces the history of our understanding, from the days of Galileo and Copernicus to our contemporary quest for exoplanets." -- Provided by publisher.
