Life As We Do Not Know It
Author(s): Peter Douglas Ward
For the past 20 years, Peter Ward has been at the forefront of popular science writing with books such as the influential and controversial Rare Earth. Ward, with his signature blend of eloquence, humour and learned insight, vividly details the latest scientific findings, cutting-edge research and intrepid new theories on the subject of alien life and the possible extraterrestrial origins of life on Earth. In lucid entertaining prose, Peter Ward once again challenges our notions of life on earth (and beyond).
