Jean Heidmann answers these questions in this engaging discussion of extraterrestrial intelligence. Using clear explanations, including new and updated information, he covers the entire subject of extraterrestrial intelligence including the SETI project and what might happen if actual contact takes place.

This book was very informative and translated from the original French very well. Heidmann does a wonderful job of explaining many concepts central to astrobiology and I would recommend this work to anyone interested in the subject matter.

I found this in my book cabinet and I remember reading it about 12 years ago and wanting to be an astrobiologist. But alas, I am not an astrobiologist, so perhaps the book wasn't good enough.

Interesting but slightly boring.
