Description
"One of the most powerful questions humans ask about the cosmos is: Are we alone? In The Possibility of Life, Jaime Green traces the history of our understanding, from the days of Galileo and Copernicus to our contemporary quest for exoplanets. Along the way, she interweaves insights from science fiction writers who construct worlds that in turn inspire scientists. Incorporating expert interviews, research, philosophical inquiry, and pop culture touchstones, The Possibility of Life explores our evolving conception of the cosmos to ask an even deeper question: What does it mean to be human?"--,Back cover.
