These are the questions that define the field of astrobiology. New discoveries about life on Earth, the increasing numbers of extrasolar planets being identified, and the technologies being developed to locate and characterize Earth-like planets around other stars are continually challenging our views of nature and our connection to the rest of the universe. In this book, philosophers, historians, ethicists, and theologians provide the perspectives of their fields on the research and discoveries of astrobiology. A valuable resource for graduate students and researchers, the book provides an introduction to astrobiology, and explores subjects such as the implications of current origin of life research, the possible discovery of extraterrestrial microbial life, and the possibility of altering the environment of Mars. 410 0$aCambridge astrobiology ;$v4. 517 3 $aExploring the Origin, Extent, & Future of Life 606 $aExobiology 606 $aLife$xOrigin$xPhilosophy 615 0$aExobiology. 615 0$aLife$xOrigin$xPhilosophy. 676 $a576.8/3 702 $aBertka$b Constance M. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778586803321 996 $aExploring the origin, extent, and future of life$93802871 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02893oam 2200565I 450 001 9910787883603321 005 20230421055539.0 010 $a1-136-21796-7 010 $a1-136-21789-4 010 $a1-315-00613-8 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315006130 035 $a(CKB)2670000000529544 035 $a(EBL)1645451 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001211690 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11703150 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001211690 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11206479 035 $a(PQKB)10470538 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1645451 035 $a(OCoLC)1000427499 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000529544 100 $a20180331d1995 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aConstitutions of the world /$fRobert L.
