Bestselling authors tell the thrilling story behind the new space race.
Does evidence that there was once water on Mars mean that it could have been - and could still be now - a home for life? Does the existence of stars like our Sun mean that life could exist on the planets surrounding them? In this thrilling book, John Gribbin and Simon Goodwin show how the world's experts are searching for life in space, and why they could be just around the corner from finding it. Beautifully illustrated with a range of stunning photographs and state-of-the-art graphics, this is no ordinary book about the universe. It is about life itself: under what conditions it can develop and survive, how it might evolve to be intelligent, where it may exist in the universe and how we could come to find it.

John Gribbin has a Ph.D. in astrophysics from Cambridge, and is now Visiting Fellow in Astronomy at the University of Sussex and consultant to New Scientist. His books have been translated into many languages, and have won awards in both Britain and the United States. He also writes science fiction. JOHN GRIBBIN is a best-selling writer, lecturer and broadcaster. Since 1992 he has been a Visiting Fellow in Astronomy at the University of Sussex. He led the recent project that discovered the age of the universe and is a household name. SIMON GOODWIN is a lecturer at Cardiff University and author of many books. His first book, HUBBLE'S UNIVERSE, was an instant success when it was published in 1996.
