| 520 | |a Planet Earth may not be the best of all possible worlds-- and lately humanity has been carelessly depleting resources, decimating species, and degrading everything needed for life. Could space be our salvation? Impey explores the definition of habitability, and the changing shape of space exploration as it expands beyond the interests of government to the pursuits of private industry. -- adapted from jacket | ||
