Jeffrey Bennett takes readers beyond UFOs to discuss some of the tantalizing questions astrobiologists grapple with every day: What is life and how does it begin? What makes a planet or moon habitable? Is there life on Mars or elsewhere in the solar system? How can life be recognized on distant worlds? Is it likely to be microbial, more biologically complex--or even intelligent? What would such a discovery mean for life here on Earth?--From publisher description. 606 $aExobiology 606 $aLife on other planets 606 $aLife$xOrigin 615 0$aExobiology. 615 0$aLife on other planets. 615 0$aLife$xOrigin. 676 $a576.8/39 700 $aBennett$b Jeffrey O$01082927 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791043903321 996 $aBeyond UFOs$93804496 997 $aUNINA
