Aliens by David Brin
Since Man first looked to the skies he also became obsessed with life beyond the stars, Aliens: Past, Present, Future is the first coloured, illustrated book to comprehensively chart our fascination with the existence of life beyond Earth from both the perspective of scientists and in popular culture.
"This is a cleanly designed book, full of fascinating images ranging from centuries old engravings to movie posters and photos of alleged 'flying saucers'Yet the greatest clarity is found in Miller's writing. Clearly and succinctly, he explains the history of astronomy and the science of exobiology in ways suitable for non-scientists, while his exploration of the cultural consequences arising from our evolving concept of aliens - including the myths that have arisen over time about them already being on Earth or the Moon - is firm and well-argued. 5 of 5 Stars."
