Astrobiology: A Very Short Introduction by David C. Catling

2019-10-18

This is a great little book that touches on most of the main issues relating to the study of how life may have developed on Earth, and how it may also develop on other worlds both within and outside of the solar system.

As such is indeed both a short introduction but also a very good one, and a great way for anyone interested in the subject to get a general overview. For the more serious student, it serves as a nice springboard to general topics explored in much more detail in other books.

Rating: 5/5
