Reviews

The Inverted Bowl gives a wide overview of the matters connected with the presence of life in the Universe. This is intrinsically a multidisciplinary subject, involving, for example, astronomy, geology, biology and theory of evolution. Cole makes a good work of giving an introductory account of these matters. The book is clearly written and well structured The book also offers an extensive set of appendices and a compendium of relevant references, which might serve as a precious guide for further study. -- Contemporary Physics Contemporary Physics
