What The Reviewers Say
David P. Barash,
The Wall Street Journal
'Are we alone?'.
Lewis Dartnell,
The Times (UK)
... as an expert in animal ecology and communication at the University of Cambridge, [Kershenbaum's] perspective is fascinating.
Kermit Pattison,
The New York Times Book Review
... provocative.
James McConnachie,
The Times (UK)
All this is partly reassuring — but also disappointing. Where much writing on astrobiology is joyously speculative, Kershenbaum is doggedly cautious, building his case from first evolutionary principles. He can be dry. What saves the book are the animal examples.
