000723732 520__ $$aThis book explains why scientists believe that life may be more common in the Universe than previously considered possible. It presents the tools and strategies astronomers and astrobiologists are using in their formal search for habitable exoplanets as well as more advanced forms of life in other parts of our galaxy. The author then summarizes what is currently known about how and where organic molecules critical to our form of carbon-based life are manufactured.The core of the book explains (and presents educated guesses) how nervous systems evolved on Earth, how they work, and how they migh.
