Light of the Stars: Alien Worlds and the Fate of the Earth by Adam Frank
4.0
In Light of the Stars, Frank surveys the last decades' leap into space and exo-planet discovery, as well as the burgeoning field of astrobiology. It is a fascinating read, both for its history and its futurism. This book would also be a great textbook for an astrophysics class: accessible and comprehensive in scope.
