About the Book

The world's leading textbook on astrobiology--ideal for an introductory one-semester course and now fully revised and updated Are we alone in the cosmos? How are scientists seeking signs of life beyond our home planet? Could we colonize other planets, moons, or even other star systems? This introductory textbook, written by a team of four renowned science communicators, educators, and researchers, tells the amazing story of how modern science is seeking the answers to these and other fascinating questions. They are the questions that are at the heart of the highly interdisciplinary field of astrobiology, the study of life in the universe. Written in an accessible, conversational style for anyone intrigued by the possibilities of life in the solar system and beyond, Life in the Universe is an ideal place to start learning about the latest discoveries and unsolved mysteries in the field. From the most recent missions to Saturn's moons and our neighboring planet Mars to revolutionary discoveries of thousands of exoplanets, from the puzzle of life's beginning on Earth to the latest efforts in the search for intelligent life elsewhere, this book captures the imagination and enriches the reader's understanding of how astronomers, planetary scientists, biologists, and other scientists make progress at the cutting edge of this dynamic field. Enriched with a wealth of engaging features, this textbook brings any citizen of the cosmos up to speed with the scientific quest to discover whether we are alone or part of a universe full of life. An acclaimed text designed to inspire students of all backgrounds to explore foundational questions about life in the cosmos Completely revised and updated to include the latest developments in the field, including recent exploratory space missions to Mars, frontier exoplanet science, research on the origin of life on Earth, and more Enriched with helpful learning aids, including in-chapter Think about It questions, optional Do the Math and Special Topic boxes, Movie Madness boxes, end-of-chapter exercises and problems, quick quizzes, and much more Supported by instructor's resources, including an illustration package and test bank, available upon request

Review :
"Life in the Universe presents this material in a way that is accessible to students with little to no physics background."--Paul M. Robertson, University of California, Irvine "Comprehensive and easy to read."--Jacob L. Bean, University of Chicago "I really like the broad scope of this book and its accessibility for nonscience majors. Life in the Universe is very strong as a general education undergraduate textbook, covering a wide range of relevant science in astrobiology and providing excellent content for the topics covered. There is something here for everyone."--Rachel L. Smith, Appalachian State University "This superbly written book explains the science in a lively way--just right for undergraduates without experience in astronomy or advanced mathematics. There are few texts that compete with Life in the Universe."--Alan C. Calder, Stony Brook University, State University of New York "This textbook is very user-friendly for nonscience majors who need to fulfill a science requirement, nicely blending well-written discussions and informative images."--Melinda L. Hutson, Portland State University
