Life As We Do Not Know It by Peter Ward
From the author of Rare Earth and Gorgon comes this revealing look at the latest NASA research regarding alien life. A principal investigator for the NASA Astrobiology Institute - which examines the possibility of life on other planets and, more controversially, the possibility of creating non-DNA life in the lab - Peter Ward presents the latest data on the range of life that is scientifically possible in Earth and beyond. Authoritative and eye-opening, this is sure to provoke wonder and heated debate among professionals and lay readers alike.
Peter Ward is professor of geological sciences at the University of Washington, Seattle. He is the co-author of Rare Earth and the author of Rivers in Time, The End of Evolution, which was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award, and On Methuselah's Trail which won the Paleontological Society's Golden Trilobite Award for best popular science book of 1992.
