Description

How did life originate in the universe? How did it all start after the creation of matter and the formation of elements in the stars?

What are the pathways from the first organic molecules in space to the evolution of complex life forms on Earth and perhaps elsewhere? And how will it all end? The Universe itself sets the stage for the very interdisciplinary field of astrobiology that attempts to answer such questions, the central one being: What is the (cosmic) recipe for life?

Currently there are only very few known elements in this vast mosaic.

This book bridges a gap in the literature by bringing together leading specialists from different backgrounds who lecture on their fields, with close relevance to astrobiology, providing tutorial accounts that lead all the way to the forefront of research.

The book will thus be useful for students, lecturers and reseachers alike.
