520    "Where did we come from? Are we alone? Where are we going?
       These are the questions that define the field of 
       astrobiology. New discoveries about life on Earth, the 
       increasing numbers of extrasolar planets being identified,
       and the technologies being developed to locate and 
       characterize Earth-like planets around other stars are 
       continually challenging our views of nature and our 
       connection to the rest of the universe. In this book, 
       philosophers, historians, ethicists, and theologians 
       provide the perspectives of their fields on the research 
       and discoveries of astrobiology. A valuable resource for 
       graduate students and researchers, the book provides an 
       introduction to astrobiology, and explores subjects such 
       as the implications of current origin of life research, 
       the possible discovery of extraterrestrial microbial life,
       and the possibility of altering the environment of Mars. -
       An introduction to astrobiology exploring the origin of 
       life, the extent of life, and the possibility of life on 
       Mars - Provides philosophical, historical, ethical and 
       theological perspectives on astrobiology - No prior 
       knowledge of the subject is needed as each chapter has 
       been written to be understood by readers new to the field"
