This is a hardcover, first edition, first printing of this excellent 206-page book by an esteemed astrophysicist who has spent decades on this search. The book features more than a dozen color photographs and artist's depictions. From the rear cover reviews: "A lively inside track on the exploding field of exoplanets and the search for life in the universe by one of the pillars of the scientific community. Large scale space projects require years of unflagging persistence and uphill battles in the face of changing political cycles. Alan Boss shows us some of the winners, losers, martyrs and heroes in the fascinating and sometimes brutal process of forging science."--Debra Fischer, Professor of Astronomy, Yale University The book is in fine, collectible condition, with no torn or bent pages, no scratches, stains or inscriptions, no remainder marks, no price-clipping, no bookplate, no ex-library, no book club edition, no flaws of any sort.
