The first section covers the plurality of worlds debate from antiquity through the nineteenth century, while section two covers the extraterrestrial life debate from the twentieth century to the present. The final section examines the societal impact of discovering life beyond Earth, including both cultural and religious dimensions. Throughout the book, authors draw links between their own chapters and those of other contributors, emphasizing the interconnections between the various strands of the history and societal impact of the search for extraterrestrial life. The chapters are all written by internationally recognized experts and are carefully edited by Douglas Vakoch, professor of clinical psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies and Director of Interstellar Message Composition at the SETI Institute. This interdisciplinary book will benefit everybody trying to understand the meaning of astrobiology and SETI for our human society. 410 0$aAdvances in Astrobiology and Biogeophysics,$x1610-8957 606 $aAstrobiology 606 $aLife sciences 606 $aHistory 606 $aCross-cultural psychology 606 $aReligion 606 $aSociology 606 $aAstrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22057 606 $aLife Sciences, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L00004 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aCross Cultural Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20100 606 $aReligious Studies, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A0000 606 $aSociology, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000 615 0$aAstrobiology. 615 0$aLife sciences. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aCross-cultural psychology. 615 0$aReligion. 615 0$aSociology. 615 14$aAstrobiology. 615 24$aLife Sciences, general. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aCross Cultural Psychology. 615 24$aReligious Studies, general. 615 24$aSociology, general. 676 $a576.839 686 $a39.24$2bcl 686 $a39.01$2bcl 702 $aVakoch$b Douglas A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437954703321 996 $aAstrobiology, History, and Society$92538444 997 $aUNINA
