In this accessible and elegantly reasoned book, scholar and researcher Impey explores the foundations of this rapidly developing discipline, where it's going, and what it's likely to find. If Earth is not the only planet, it is so far the only living one that we know of. Impey reveals the incredible proliferation and variety of life on Earth, paying special tribute to some of its hardiest life forms, extremophiles, a dizzying array of microscopic organisms that can survive extreme heat and cold, live deep within rocks, or thrive in pure acid. From there, Impey investigates the potential for life beyond our own world, providing portraits of the individuals who have devoted their lives to the search.--From publisher description., , , Modern Book, Purchase, , , 2008.080, , , Life, Exobiology., Life on other planets., , , , 0, 0, 0, Origin., Table of contents only, 4, 1, http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0713/2007010363.html, YBP Library Services, YANK, , , 2559531, HELD BY AP$ - 994 OTHER HOLDINGS, , , c, a, m, a, a85898991zDLCdURIhFulliLCCkDDCnSummarytContentsu20130922, a224667822zCLSbHARVARD UNIV, CABOT SCI LIBRhFull batchiLCCkDDCu20100715, a851826798zZYUbNEW YORK UNIVdURIhFulliLCCkDDCnSummaryu20130705, a221570808zPULbPRINCETON UNIVhFulliLCCkDDCu20100727, a377548877zUBYbBRIGHAM YOUNG UNIV LIBRdURIhFulliLCCkDDCnSummaryqcatu20100628, a851826800zNYZYWbNYU WEB INTERNET RESdURIhFulliLCCkDDCnSummaryu20130705, a272077212zSTFbSTANFORD UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCu20100701, a259344885zPAUbUNIV OF PENNSYLVANIAdURIhFulliLCCkDDCnSummaryu20100722, a492344136zTEUbTEMPLE UNIVdURIhFullu20100724, a689423615zYUSbYALE UNIV LIBRdURIhFulliLCCkDDCnSummaryu20101203, aZ0bAP$, DATE_RECEIVED, 2008-2-1, QH327 .I47 2007
