My world began as a small town, but it grew to encompass the whole globe, then reached into the cosmos, with new planets to explore in whatever way possible.
from Alien Earths by D.r Lisa Kaltenegger
Alien Earths shares Dr. Lisa Kaltenegger’s quest to discover life in the cosmos. She asks important questions. What is life? What is a habitable world? How does one look for life in the cosmos? She explains the concepts with illustrations geared to the non-scientist.
The author also addresses the difficult environment female scientists face their entire life, counselors and educators and peers entrenched in the belief that women are incapable of making a career in the natural sciences.
Are we alone in the universe? ANd if not, how do we find other life-forms? To me, these are two of the most intriguing questions in science.
from Alien Worlds by Dr. Lisa Kaltenegger
Descriptions of alien worlds and the mysteries of life and the universe spur the imagination. We are taken across the known universe as she imagines the environments of other planets.
“If someone has found us already,” she ends, considering how we have impacted our planet for the worse, “I wonder what they think of us.”
