Reviews

Encyclopedia of Astrobiology has a good number of visual aids included. These can range from chemical equations to coloured and black-and-white figures, pictures, tables and graphs. Overall, the balance of text to images emphasizes text, but the variety and number of visual aids is quite good and better than many subject encyclopedias. ... Encyclopedia of Astrobiology is an incredible scholarly achievement. (Kevin McDonough, Reference Reviews, Vol. 31 (1), 2017)
