This book addresses this question in all its complexity. In addition to the physical barriers for communication, such as the enormous distances where a message can take centuries to reach its recipient, the book also examines the biological problems of communicating between species, the problems of identifying a non-Terrestrial intelligence, and the ethical, religious, legal and other problems of conducting discussions across light years. Most of the book is concerned with issues that could impinge on your life: how do we share experiences with ETI? Can we make shared laws? Could we trade? Would they have religion? The book addresses these and related issues, identifying potential barriers to communication and suggesting ways we can overcome them. The book explores this topic through reference to human experience, through analogy and thought experiment, while relying on what is known to-date about ourselves, our world, and the cosmos we live in. 410 0$aSpace and society (Springer (Firm)) 606 $aExtraterrestrial beings 606 $aLife on other planets 606 $aExtraterrestrial anthropology 606 $aAstrobiology 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aEvolutionary biology 606 $aSpace sciences 615 0$aExtraterrestrial beings. 615 0$aLife on other planets. 615 0$aExtraterrestrial anthropology. 615 0$aAstrobiology. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aEvolutionary biology. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 676 $a384.5 700 $aAshkenazi$b Michael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0690269 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254584203321 996 $aWhat We Know About Extraterrestrial Intelligence$92047117 997 $aUNINA
