Recenzii
Review from previous edition A wide-ranging, well-written, and very wise examination of the fascinating search for life in the universe, filled with the latest information from the frontiers of scientific investigation and philosophical thought.
Here Be Dragons provides a wide-ranging overview of one of the most exciting new fields of science: astrobiology...Koerner and LeVay discuss the many differing scientific perspectives on extraterrestial life objectively and clearly...I greatly enjoyed reading the book and will recommend it to my friends, both researchers and armchair scientists.
It is the question of questions: Are we alone? In a dazzling tour de force David Koerner and Simon LeVay not only bring us completely up-to-date with the relevant science, but skillfully channel the character and enthusiasm of many of the principal practitioners into a compelling narrative, spiced with the occasional puncturing of self-inflicted pomposity. The pace is gripping and the torrent of new scientific insights allows us the first glimpse of what may be a cosmic synthesis...If you thought science was stale and narrow, then this is the book to correct your illusions.
