The Definitive Reference for a Nascent and Remarkably Interdisciplinary Field
From the reviews: "Stretching to three thick hardback volumes, the Encyclopedia of Astrobiology is certainly comprehensive. Many entries are pretty substantial and constitute a mini-review article on a particular topic. ... cover all the main points, and are well-supported with carefully chosen graphs and figures. ... is well worth requesting your academic library to order a set. ... Highly recommended." (Lewis Dartnell, Astrobiology Society of Britain, September, 2011)
