Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The discovery of life on other planets would be perhaps the most momentous revelation in human history, more disorienting and more profound than either the Copernican or Darwinian revolutions, which knocked the earth from the centre of the universe and humankind from its position of lofty self-rega…rd. In Here Be Dragons, astronomer David Koerner and neurobiologist Simon LeVay offer a scientifically compelling and colourful account of the search for life beyond Earth. The authors survey the work of biologists, cosmologists, computer theorists, NASA engineers, SETI researchers, roboticists, and UFO enthusiasts and debunkers as they attempt to answer the greatest remaining question facing humankind: Are we alone? From their 'safe haven of scepticism' the authors venture into the 'rough seas of speculation', where theory and evidence run the gamut from hard science to hocus pocus. Arguing that the universe is spectacularly suited for the evolution of living creatures, Koerner and LeVay give us ringside seats at the great debates of Big Science. The contentious arguments about what really happens in evolution, the acrimonious UFO controversy, and the debate over intelligence versus artificial intelligence shed new light on the wildly divergent claims about the universe and life's place in it. The authors argue that while no direct evidence of extraterrestrial life yet exists, habitats and chemical building blocks for life abound in the universe. A wealth of new astonomical techniques and space missions may provide this evidence early in the next century. Lucidly written and scientifically rigorous, Here Be Dragons presents everything we know thus far about the emergence of intelligent life here on Earth, and perhaps, beyond. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition brown boards, black spine, and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Foreword; Reflections; Acknowledgments and Index. Illustrated with a secti…on of black-and-white photographic plates. A vintage March 1, 2001 gift inscription is neatly scripted on the blank first free front endpaper. "In A Charge to Keep, George W. Bush offers readers a warm, insightful, and honest look at the personal and political experiences that have shaped his values and led to his decision to become a candidate for President. The Texas Governor takes readers on his life's journey, including his childhood in West Texas, the encounter with Billy Graham that reawakened his faith, his years in the oil business and as owner of a baseball team, and his decision to run for Governor. The George W. Bush who leaps off these pages has his mother's wit and down-to-earth personality, his father's energy and competitive drive, and his own unique style and philosophy. He talks of the small-town values that shaped him and the schools back east that educated him. He describes selling sporting goods at Sears and working for an inner-city poverty program, which helped develop his passion to "leave no child behind." He describes his love for his wife and twin daughters, and his close relationship with his famous parents. And he discusses difficult decisions, including the death penalty case of Karla Faye Tucker, and outlines his leadership and decision-making styles. A Charge to Keep offers unique insight into the way he governs and how he has worked successfully with Republicans and Democrats in Texas to enact the state's two largest tax cuts and sweeping reforms in education, welfare programs, and criminal justice. A Charge to Keep is a revealing look at the personal stories and public life of one of America's most intriguing political leaaders. It helps explain his record-high approval ratings in his home state of Texas and outlines the compassionate conservative philosophy that is reshaping the political landscape in America. Written with his longtime communications director, Karen Hughes, George W. Bush's A Charge to Keep is a revealing look at the background, philosophy, family, and heart of a man who could be America's next president." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Aquan, Richard (jacket design); O'Brien, Michael (jacket photograph); Koerner, W.H.D. (jacket painting); Woo, David (authors photograph) (illustrator).

Hardback. Zustand: New. It is only recently that advances in chemistry, physics, and biology and in their application to space and the space sciences, have provided scientists with the tools to make accurate and well-informed predictions about the possibility of life on other planets. In this book, the authors summarize and pres…ent the scientific search for life in the universe, and the current level of scientific understanding of how life begins, grows, and becomes intelligent in our Solar System and beyond. This engaging book promises to appeal not only to the general reader but to scientists as well, many of whom strive to acquire an informed perspective on the search for extraterrestrial life in fields not their own.
