The Hunt for Life on Mars takes us on an epic journey from the Antarctic deep freeze to the barren plains of the red Planet, through interplanetary space, and into the high-tech laboratories where the ancient rock from Mars finally yielded its secrets. Examining the evidence from all sides, award-winning astronomer and acclaimed science writer Donald Goldsmith details the wide-ranging scientific and philosophical implications of this discovery, along with crucial issues about the origin of life on Earth and throughout the universe. In a new epilogue, he also highlights the latest findings from the 1997 Mars missions, including the most recent account of Pathfinder's newest discoveries.
Spanning extraordinary distances in time and space, The Hunt for Life on Mars raises challenging new questions that will engage scientists -- and all of us -- for decades to come. It is scientific writing at its provocative best.
"Goldsmith displays a wonderful gift for simplifying the
complex."
