Summary: Nice pictures, lightweight text
Comment: This short book offers a non-technical introduction to the question of finding life beyond the Earth. Chapters review the basics of our solar system and others (concluding that there is nothing special about ours), the probability of life elsewhere, scientific searches for extraterrestrial life and intelligence, and, very briefly, interstellar flight. There is a heavy emphasis on full page visual images, many of them artists' conceptions. I would rank the book one star higher if it did not claim that Io is Jupiter's largest moon, a glaring error.
