This volume provides a review of this  interdisciplinary field. In 50 chapters many aspects that contribute  to exobiology are reviewed by 90 authors. These include: historical  perspective of biological evolution; cultural aspects of exobiology,  cosmic, chemical and biological evolution, molecular biology,  geochronology, biogeochemistry, biogeology, and planetology. Some of  the current missions are discussed. Other subjects in the frontier of  exobiology are reviewed, such as the search for planets outside the  solar system, and the possible manifestation of intelligence in those  new potential environments. The SETI research effort is well  represented in this general overview of exobiology. This book is the  proceedings of the Fifth Trieste Conference on Chemical Evolution that  took place in September 1997. The volume is dedicated to the memory of  Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam who suggested the initiation of the Trieste  conferences on chemical evolution and the origin of life. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e Graduate students and researchers in the many areas of  basic, earth, and life sciences that contribute to the study of  chemical evolution and the origin, evolution and distribution of life  in the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792351726\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5056-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 386\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47188196294796,"sku":"9780792351726","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792351726.jpg?v=1775049108","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792351726","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
