Edwards Edelson - the award-winning science editor of the New York Daily News - begins with an account of man's first automated exploration of non-earthly life, the voyage of Viking I to the red planet of Mars. He surveys the ancient and modern theories of how life originated on this planet and how it could have occured elsewhere. He examines the sophisticated technology being devised to transmit and receive communication across the farthest reaches of space, probing the unknown for traces of intelligent life beyond the planet Earth. 176 pages, including index. Black and white photographs. This book is looking its age and its pages are lightly tanned, but is fully intact, with little sign of wear and is a very tight copy, probably rarely, if ever, read from cover to cover. No creases on the spine.
