ISBN10: 3319976575, ISBN13: 9783319976570, [publisher: Springer International Publishing] Hardcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This class-tested textbook examines the basic elements of living systems: energy, chemistry, solvents, and habitats in crucial depth. These elements define the opportunities and limitations for life on other worlds. The book argues that life forms we would recognize may be more common in our solar system than many assume. It also considers, however, the possibility of exotic forms of life based on backbones other than carbon, liquids other than water, and energy other than light.

They present an objective assessment of the pl ...
