Investigating Life in the Universe Astrobiology and the Search for Extraterrestrial Life

Investigating Life in the Universe Astrobiology and the Search for Extraterrestrial Life

This textbook gives a lively introduction to the search for extraterrestrial life. It is a guidebook to understanding the possibility of life elsewhere pointing out landmarks and providing background information to facilitate further exploration of those areas of most interest to the reader. We are a planet of winners – winners of a cosmic lottery that has been in play since the universe began approximately 13. 7 billion years ago. Our winnings include sentience and an underlying unease that has driven us to contemplate our place in the universe and the possibility of finding kindred spirits in the cosmos spreading out before us. To understand our origins and the possibility of life beyond Earth we must look back and retrace the steps that have brought us to this point in space and time. In doing so we will find the investigation of life to be a unifying theme in nature requiring us to touch on all branches of the tree of knowledge. Using the Drake Equation as a theme we begin with an overview of the topic and then go into the story of how we have acquired or plan to acquire the knowledge to solve it. As we make our journey we will encounter some very interesting people – some you will likely know while others may be new to you. Keep an open mind and allow this text to be your guide. Written in an engaging style this textbook provides a foundational understanding of the rapidly advancing fields associated with the search for life in the universe. Each chapter includes illustrative figures and review questions for self-study. It will appeal to professionals researchers instructors and undergraduate students as well as anyone with an interest in astrophysics or astrobiology. | Investigating Life in the Universe Astrobiology and the Search for Extraterrestrial Life

Questioning the Universe Concepts in Physics

Questioning the Universe Concepts in Physics

WINNER 2009 CHOICE AWARD OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE! The typical introduction to physics leaves readers with the impression that physics is about 30 different unconnected topics such as motion forces gravity electricity light heat energy and atoms. More often than not these readers are left to conclude that physics is mostly about boring lifeless numbers. Questioning the Universe: Concepts in Physics offers the nonscientist an alternative view: one that demonstrates how physics is perpetually evolving and shows how so many seemingly diverse concepts are intimately connected. In fact one could argue that the most important ideas in modern physics are all about unification and that these ideas are as fascinating as they are elegant. Physicists today believe that Mother Nature is remarkably efficient and requires only a relatively small number of laws to keep her universe in working order. We may not yet know all of these laws; but at the center of physics is a faith that she is indeed understandableand that someday we will see her full beauty. The purpose of this book is to tell readers the story of what we have learned about nature so far and how we have done it. Written to arouse curiosity this compelling and readable work: Delves into the most basic laws regarding motion and energy waves and particles Introduces modern theories including relativity quantum mechanics and particle physics Describes the key role played by that elemental building block the atom Discusses the evolution of the universe including the formation of stars and the mystery of dark matter and dark energy This book is not for those doing physics but is aimed at those who simply want to learn about physics so it requires only the most minimal math.
