WORLDS WITHOUT END The Historic Search For Extraterrestrial Life

The Historic Search for Extraterrestrial Life explores humanity's long-standing fascination with life beyond Earth. The book traces the historical development of ideas about extraterrestrial life, from ancient philosophical musings to scientific theories and fictional accounts. This well-illustrated and accessibly written work thus provides an invaluable background to one of the major debates of our time. It will be welcomed not only by those engaged in this debate — scientists, historians, theologians and science fiction readers — but anyone who has looked up at the night sky and wondered, as have others down the ages, 'Is there anyone out there?'.
