As space agencies continue to search for life in our Universe, fundamental questions are raised: are we awake to the revolutionary effects on human science, society and culture that alien contact will bring? And how is it possible to imagine the unknown? In this book, Mark Brake tells the compelling story of how the portrayal of extraterrestrial life has developed over the last two and a half thousand years. Taking examples from the history of science, philosophy, film and fiction, he showcases how scholars, scientists, film-makers and writers have devoted their energies to imagining life beyond this Earth. From Newton to Kubrick, and Lucian to H. G. Wells, this is a fascinating account for anyone interested in the extraterrestrial life debate, from general readers to amateur astronomers and undergraduate students studying astrobiology. 606 $aUnidentified flying object literature 606 $aUnidentified flying objects 606 $aVoyages, Imaginary 606 $aLife on other planets 615 0$aUnidentified flying object literature. 615 0$aUnidentified flying objects. 615 0$aVoyages, Imaginary. 615 0$aLife on other planets. 676 $a576.8/39 700 $aBrake$b Mark$01499791 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779341503321 996 $aAlien life imagined$93726169 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02281nam 2200541 450 001 9910806285703321 005 20230803034643.0 010 $a0-309-26074-4 035 $a(CKB)3710000000103419 035 $a(EBL)3379285 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001119391 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12499953 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001119391 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11147267 035 $a(PQKB)10432473 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3379285 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3379285 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10863943 035 $a(OCoLC)858566114 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000103419 100 $a20121005h20132013 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aBest care at lower cost $ethe path to continuously learning health care in America /$fCommittee on the Learning Health Care System in America, The Institute of Medicine ; Mark Smith [and three others], editors 210 1$aWashington, District of Columbia :$cNational Academies Press,$d[2013] 210 4$dİ2013 215 $a1 online resource (437 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-309-26073-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aIntroduction and overview -- Imperative : managing rapidly increasing complexity -- Imperative : achieving greater value in health care -- Imperative : capturing opportunities from technology, industry, and policy -- A continuously learning health care system -- Generating and applying knowledge in real time -- Engaging patients, families, and communities -- Achieving and rewarding high-value care -- Creating a new culture of care -- Actions for continuous learning, best care, and lower costs. 606 $aMedical care$zUnited States 606 $aMedical policy$zUnited States 615 0$aMedical care 615 0$aMedical policy 676 $a368.38/200973 702 $aSmith$b Mark D$c(Physician), 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on the Learning Health Care System in America, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806285703321 996 $aBest care at lower cost$93921232 997 $aUNINA
