What is Rare Earth : Why Complex Life Is Uncommon in the Universe about?

What determines whether complex life will arise on a planet, or even any life at all? Questions such as these are investigated in this groundbreaking book. In doing so, the authors synthesize information from astronomy, biology, and paleontology, and apply it to what we know about the rise of life on Earth and to what could possibly happen elsewhere in the universe. Everyone who has been thrilled by the recent discoveries of extrasolar planets and the indications of life on Mars and the Jovian moon Europa will be fascinated by Rare Earth, and its implications for those who look to the heavens for companionship. cover-m 1 cover 1 Page_i 2 Page_ii 3 Page_iii 4 Page_iv 5 Page_v 6 Page_vi 7 Page_vii 8 Page_viii 9 Page_ix 10 Page_x 11 Page_xi 12 Page_xii 13 Page_xiii 14 Page_xiv 15 Page_xv 16 Page_xvi 17 Page_xvii 18 Page_xviii 19 Page_xix 20 Page_xx 21 Page_xxi 22 Page_xxii 23 Page_xxiii 24 Page_xxiv 25 Page_xxv 26 Page_xxvi 27 Page_xxvii 28 Page_xxviii 29 Page_xxix 30 Page_xxx 31 Page_xxxi 32 Page_xxxii 33 page_00000001 34 page_00000001 34 page_00000002 35 page_00000003 36 page_00000004 37 page_00000005 38 page_00000006 39 page_00000007 40 page_00000008 41 page_00000009 42 page_000000
