摘要

Planets and Life-The Emerging Science of Astrobiology edited by Woodruff T. Sullivan III and John A. Baross is an excellent treatise on what is undoubtedly an exciting and rapidly emerging field. The editors; Sullivan is Professor of Astronomy and History while Baross is Professor at the School of Oceanography, both of at the University of Washington, clearly understand the breadth and potential of this new emerging science. The book, consisting of an extensive series of very clearly written and well illustrated papers, is divided into seven parts together with a final extensive appendix which will be an invaluable repository of data for researchers.
