Recenzje

Advances in astrobiology exploration raise age-old questions about the meaning and significance of life. No matter when, where, or if we discover 'other' life, we must consider diverse philosophical, ethical, legal, and cultural perspectives as we frame a forward-looking response. While the issues and concerns may be challenging, thankfully, the authors of this volume have presented the information in engaging and thoughtful ways for readers in any discipline!
