Life in the Universe: From the Miller Experiment to the Search for Life on other Worlds by Joseph Seckbach, Julian Chela-Flores, Tobias Owen, François RaulinEnglish | PDF | 2004 | 382 Pages | ISBN : 1402023715 | 11 MB
The year 2003 was the 50th anniversary of the seminal experiment of Stanley Miller. This was a unique opportunity for highlighting the current interest in this most interdisciplinary subject. The leading space agencies: the European Space Agency (ESA) as well as NASA, the American Space Agency, have planned missions that will elucidate some of the still unknown questions underlying research in the origin of life. New results are surpassing our ability to keep well informed: the reviews that we were presented at the Trieste meeting will bring the readers of this well-documented and timely book up to date in this fast-moving area.
