Astrobiology involves the study of the origin and history of life on Earth, planets and moons where life may have arisen, and the search for extraterrestrial life. It combines the sciences of biology, chemistry, palaeontology, geology, planetary physics and astronomy. This textbook brings together world experts in each of these disciplines to provide the most comprehensive coverage of the field currently available. Topics cover the origin and evolution of life on Earth, the geological, physical and chemical conditions in which life might arise and the detection of extraterrestrial life on other planets and moons. The book also covers the history of our ideas on extraterrestrial life and the origin of life, as well as the ethical, philosophical and educational issues raised by astrobiology. Written to be accessible to students from diverse backgrounds, this text will be welcomed by advanced undergraduates and graduates who are taking astrobiology courses.

Sommes-nous seuls dans l'Univers ? La Terre, le vivant seraient-ils uniques dans le cosmos ? Aucune des millions, des milliards de planètes qui peuplent l'Univers ne serait-elle donc habitée ? Cette vision est biaisée, nous prévient ici Jean-Pierre Bibring : aucun argument solide ne nous permet d'affirmer que ce que nous appelons "vivant" existe ailleurs que sur ce minuscule îlot cosmique et vagabond qu'est la Terre. Au contraire, depuis que nous explorons l'espace, tout semble montrer que notre planète, née d'une longue chaîne d'événements fortuits et de hasards, est unique en son genre. Et le vivant serait terrien par essence.

How did life on Earth begin ? How common is it elsewhere in the Universe ? Written and edited by planetary scientists and astrobiologists, this undergraduate-level textbook provides an introduction to the origin and nature of life, the habitable environments in our solar system and the techniques most successfully used for discovery and characterisation of exoplanets. This third edition has been thoroughly revised to embrace the latest developments in this field. Updated topics include the origins of water on Earth, the exploration of habitable environments on Mars, Europa and Enceladus, and the burgeoning discoveries in exoplanetary systems. Ideal for introductory courses on the subject, the textbook is also well-suited for self-study. It highlights important concepts and techniques in boxed summaries, with questions and exercises throughout the text, with full solutions provided. Online resources, hosted at www.cambridge.org/features/planets, include selected figures from the book, self-assessment questions and sample tutor assignments.Read more at http://www.cambridge.org/be/academic/subjects/physics/computational-science-and-modelling/introduction-astrobiology-3rd-edition#v6ts7IeXKeC6j5Xu.99
