THE WORLD'S LEADING SCIENTISTS CONFRONT THE ULTIMATE QUESTION: ARE WE ALONE IN THE COSMOS?

Featuring Essays by: Philip Morrison, Arthur C. Clarke, Donald Goldsmith, Frank Drake, Bruce Campbell, and Ben Bova.

Never before has so much time and concetrated effort been spent by so many scientists and writers in pursuit of the answer to this fundamental question. In this extraordinary work, major scientists involved in the Search for extraterrestrial intelligence known as SETI explain their work and reveal their thoughts. Joining them are some of the best speculative thinkers, from Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov to Gregory Benford, who address the major philosophical questions involved.

Includes new essay by Dr. Donald Goldsmith, author of "The Hunt for Life on Mars, and "The Ultimate Einstein, on the new personal computer search for alien contact via the internet, and how you can partake in it.

Danny (Long island, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Are We Alone in the Cosmos? The Search for Alien Contact in the New Millenium (Paperback)
This is a great book. It is not an interconnected novel. It is a collection of essays from famous scientists and writers. Read this book in any order you want!

1.0 out of 5 stars I thought I deleted this, November 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I thought I deleted this. I think I read twenty pages and then realized that I would never get those moments back. I deleted it I know I did) and I lamented for the moment I bought it. I still do. I don't remember any of it except for saying to myself "My God, this is horrible" I really feel that I deleted it. Why is it here? This is a little worrisome. An incredibly bad book which was so awful, so absolutely bad, that I feel I may have to buy another Kindle just so anything new I buy won't be read on the same screen as this loathsome garbage.
