The search for life beyond Earth takes the human mind and spirit back down long corridors of cosmic history, probing the ancient questions of who we are and where we came from. "Life Beyond Earth" is the story of this exploration.A stunning blend of words and photographs crafted by Timothy Ferris, whom "The Christian Science Monitor" called "the best popular science writer in the English language today," "Life Beyond Earth" combines more than 100 illustrations with Ferris's rich, thought-provoking text and observations from such leading scientists as Freeman Dyson, Richard Gott, and Stephen Jay Gould. Drawn from Ferris's critically acclaimed, two-hour PBS documentary, the book covers broad swaths of time and space, from the South Pacific explorations of Charles Darwin and Captain James Cook to the latest space-probe searches for life and organic matter on Mars, Europa, and Titan. Ferris fans and newcomers to his work alike will celebrate this, his most ambitious picture book since the classic "Galaxies," which was hailed by Isaac Asimov as "a very good candidate for the most beautiful book in the world."
