Life in the Universe: Expectations and Constraints

Life in the Universe: Expectations and Constraints by Dirk Schulze-Makuch, Louis N. Irwin
English | PDF(True) | 2008 | 260 Pages | ISBN : 3540768165 | 7.6 MB

Energy, chemistry, solvents, and habitats – the basic elements of living systems - define the opportunities and limitations for life on other worlds. This class-tested text examines each of these parameters in crucial depth and makes the argument that life forms we would recognize may be more common in our solar system than many assume. It also considers, however, exotic forms of life that would not have to rely on carbon as basic chemical element, solar energy as a main energy source, or water as primary solvent. Finally the question of detecting bio- and geosignature of such life forms is discussed, ranging from Earth environments to deep space.

The space-faring nations are heading for the human exploration of the Moon, Mars and Near-Earth Objects. They might be soon prepared with regard to technology development. But they also need to benefit from the humanities (history, philosophy, anthropology), the arts as well as the social sciences (political science, economics, law) to implement their plans.
