For students in grades nine and higher, as well as general readers,
this volume considers the question of whether intelligent life is
unique to Earth. Angelo (physics, Rollins College) describes how
scientists explore this question through space technology and
astronomy, as well as the principles of exobiology and how they are
being used to guide robot spacecraft in the search for life beyond
Earth. He also discusses efforts at interstellar communication,
contamination issues, and SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial
Intelligence) programs, and includes biographies of scientists.
