The Search for Aliens: A Rough Guide to Life on Other Worlds by Piers Bizony

The Search for Aliens: A Rough Guide to Life on Other Worlds provides the first vivid and completely accessible guide to the most exciting field of modern science: the search for extraterrestrial life. All the latest research projects are identified, located and described; everything from radio dishes searching for intelligent alien signals to deep oceanic research, seeking links between terrestrial organisms and the broader cosmos. It also explores the idea of Panspermia, the notion that asteroids and comets brought biological building blocks to the early earth, plus exactly which factors must align for life to arise across our galaxy and the universe. The Search for Aliens: A Rough Guide to Life on Other Worlds explains why we may be closer than ever to finding out the answer to the question: is there any life beyond life on earth?

Piers Bizony is a full-time popular science writer. He won NASA's Eugene Emme Ward award for Astronautical writing for his book, The Rivers of Mars: Searching for the Cosmic Origins of Life, chronicling the Mars Viking hunt for life in the 1970s.
