Summary

Most scientists now accept the idea that life must exist in other parts of the universe. The important questions are: how abundant is such ET life? and what is it like? This intriguing volume calls on the latest scientific discoveries and theories to support speculation about the likelihood and distribution of ET life, its possible forms and habitats, whether the Earth has already been visited by intelligent ETs, and the ongoing search for such intelligence.
