About this book
Reviews
'An extensive, masterful case that environmental science and space science are powerful partners in leading us to understanding other worlds, and, more importantly, the future of our own.' - Frank Drake, Director, SETI Institute, California
'In this lucid and upbeat book, Cockell debunks the false choice between environmentalism and space exploration. He lays out clearly the challenge before us: to seek the stars in full reverence of our home world.' - Don White, President, Earthtrust, Hawaii
'Charles Cockell is right to think that we can better understand the earth by visiting the other planets.' - James Lovelock, author of The Revenge of Gaia
Cockell's fascinating, impassioned book could convert even the most skeptical - infectious. Publishers Weekly
