DISCOVER HOW LIFE REALLY WORKS - ON EARTH AND IN SPACE

'A wonderfully insightful sidelong look at Earthly biology' Richard Dawkins
'Crawls with curious facts' Sunday Times
_________________________
We are unprepared for the greatest discovery of modern science. Scientists are confident that there is alien life across the universe yet we have not moved beyond our perception of 'aliens' as Hollywood stereotypes. The time has come to abandon our fixation on alien monsters and place our expectations on solid scientific footing.
Using his own expert understanding of life on Earth and Darwin's theory of evolution - which applies throughout the universe - Cambridge zoologist Dr Arik Kershenbaum explains what alien life must be like. This is the story of how life really works, on Earth and in space.
