Seller's Description

BRAND NEW AND UNREAD. FAST SHIPPING. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE.

Inspired by her popular Wild Thing podcast, journalist Laura Krantz incorporates the scientific method and her journalistic skills to determine if aliens might exist.

How likely is it that humans aren’t alone in the universe?

Reports of strange lights, UFO sightings, and alien encounters abound—and some (like recent accounts from US Navy pilots) even sound credible. In recent years, armed with state-of-the-art technology and better information, the search for extraterrestrials overflows with exciting possibilities. Within our own solar system, astrobiologists search for the biochemical building blocks that might sustain microbes, astronomers discover far-flung stars, orbited by planets that could be teeming with life, and astrophysicists point sophisticated telescopes toward the deep reaches of the universe, looking for anything out of the ordinary.

Is There Anybody Out There? turns our collective gaze skyward: What’s the likelihood of life on other planets? Or that aliens have already made the trip to visit us? How would they get here? Why do we want to find them? And what does it mean if we do (or don’t)? Teaching readers to challenge their gut assumptions and open their minds to new possibilities by using critical thinking and the scientific method, journalist Laura Krantz investigates the science, culture, and philosophy of a universe in which we’re not alone—and why the idea of alien life has abducted our imaginations.

Includes Color Illustrations and Features Photographs from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Definite proof of extraterrestrials remains frustratingly absent, but there are many reasons to think there must be life out there, somewhere. In this clearly written work, Krantz carefully considers several of them." - Kirkus

"Researchers and report writers will appreciate the rich back matter, and both skeptics and believers will appreciate her insightful questions and transparent reporting—and come away with more questions than answers." - Booklist
