Sinossi

"Life on Mars" explores humanity's ongoing search for extraterrestrial life on the Red Planet, examining past and present Mars Exploration missions to detect biosignatures. It delves into the cumulative data suggesting the past existence of habitable environments, challenging the idea that Earth is unique in supporting life. The book investigates the methods and discoveries used to analyze Martian samples, such as identifying ancient streambeds and organic molecules on Mars, while addressing the challenges of distinguishing between biogenic and abiogenic compounds.

 
Beginning with the historical context of Martian exploration, the book progresses through key missions like Viking and the Mars Science Laboratory's Curiosity rover. It highlights Curiosity's investigation of Gale Crater and then discusses present and future missions, including the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover, emphasizing their advanced instruments designed to detect life. A significant focus is given to the Sample Return Program and the profound implications of bringing Martian samples back to Earth for in-depth analysis.

 
The narrative also considers the ethical and philosophical aspects surrounding the potential discovery of life on Mars, and the implications for future human exploration. Drawing upon data from various space agencies and peer-reviewed publications, "Life on Mars" provides a balanced perspective, presenting complex information in an accessible format with illustrative figures, diagrams, and photographs, making it valuable for students, science enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the quest to understand life beyond Earth.

Biocivilisations - A New Look at...

Predrag B. Slijepcevic, Vandana...

Biocivilisations is an important, original rethinking of the mystery of life and its deep uncertainty, exploring the complex civilisations that existed on Earth long before humans.
What is life? Many scientists believe life can be reduced to ‘mechanistic’ factors, such as genes and information codes. Yet there is a growing army of scientists, philosophers and artists who reject this view. The gene metaphor is not only too simplistic but deeply misleading. If there is a way to reduce life to a single principle, that principle must acknowledge the creativity of life, turning genetic determinism on its head.
The term biocivilisations is the acknowledgement of this uncertainty of life, as opposed to a quasi-certainty of the human position governed by a narrow time window of the scientific revolution. Life existed without humans for more than 99.99 percent of the Earth’s existence. Life will also continue without humans long after our inevitable extinction.
In Biocivilisations, Dr Predrag Slijep?evi? shows how bacteria, amoebas, plants, insects, birds, whales, elephants and countless other species not only preceded human beings but demonstrate elements of how we celebrate human civilisation – complex communication, agriculture, science, art, medicine and more.
Humans must try to adopt this wisdom from other biocivilisations that have long preceded our own. By rethinking the current scientific paradigm, Dr Slijep?evi? makes clear that a transformation – from a naïve young species into a more mature species in tune with its surroundings – will save us from our own violence and the violence we inflict on the rest of our living planet.
