Kritik
"The author's clear, crisp text is complemented by boxes that examine specific topics in more detail, and the book is extensively illustrated with relevant and informative diagrams, images and artist's impressions. The text is so well-structured that it can be read through from start to finish or dipped into at any point. Informative, thought-provoking, easy and enjoyable to read, this is an altogether excellent book." (Ian Nicolson, Astronomy Now, July, 2017)

"Linde's book is a mix of already well-known and new topics, meant for popular-science readers." (P. Chapman-Rietschi, The Observatory, Vol. 137 (1257), April, 2017)

"In this book the reader gets a first course on different methods that are used in various ways to search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and planets that might be suitable for life. The book gives a wide overview of for example SETIresearch with radio telescopes, the techniques employed there, and what are the results so far. ... The Hunt for Alien Life is a great book for finding out more about the background of exoplanet research. It's detailed and well-written." (AstroMadness.com, December, 2016)mehr
