Critics Review
From the reviews:
“Of the book’s chapters, sixteen are review papers of topics relevant to life’s place on our planet and beyond. … The remaining chapters, mostly about research efforts, refer to the potential for life on Mars and Europa … . Together, the chapters aim to motivate collaborative multidisciplinary research for the framing of questions as to the character and forms of life in the Universe. … the book as a whole is excellent! Recommended.” (P.A.L. Chapman-Rietschi, The Observatory, Vol. 125 (1187), 2005)
