About this title

Synopsis

This fascinating anthology explores how life on Earth has formed and been influenced by where Earth is in relation to the Sun and the other planets. Written by renowned scientists and published in esteemed journals, each article explores a variety of topics on the subject. How threatened are we by asteroids? Will our life source, the Sun, eventually kill us? Is there a possibility for life on other planets? The editor introduces these questions and many others that are both timely and timeless.
