Über diesen Titel

Astrobiology is an exciting new subject, and one, arguably, more interdisciplinary than any other. Astrobiologists seek to understand the origin and evolution of life on Earth in order to illuminate and guide the search for life on other planets. In this Very Short Introduction, David C. Catling introduces the subject through our understanding of the factors that allowed life to arise and persist on our own planet, and for the signs we are looking for in the search for extraterrestrial life.

This audio book gives a short, well-narrated, authoritative introduction into astrobiology. It covers both the origin of life in Earth and the possibility of life elsewhere.

I found it very understandable, the science is solid - or was, as the book itself is more than 10 years old. Some of the questions the author raised have been answered by now. Nevertheless, it still gives a very good outline of a new field, its methods and findings, is very accessible, and the narrator makes a very good job, too.

Brilliant introduction, but a bit dated

3/4 of the book is about biology on earth and the evolution from non-live to live. And the reading is much to slow, I speede it up to 1.4.

If you like a more speculative approach I recommend
"Imagined Life - A Speculative Scientific Journey among the Exoplanets in Search of Intelligent Aliens, Ice Creatures, and Supergravity Animals" by James Trefil and Michael Summers


An informative, fact based introduction
