Rezensionen
'An extensive, masterful case that environmental science and space science are powerful partners in leading us to understanding other worlds, and, more importantly, the future of our own.' - Frank Drake, Director, SETI Institute, California

'In this lucid and upbeat book, Cockell debunks the false choice between environmentalism and space exploration. He lays out clearly the challenge before us: to seek the stars in full reverence of our home world.' - Don White, President, Earthtrust, Hawaii

'Charles Cockell is right to think that we can better understand the earth by visiting the other planets.' - James Lovelock, author of The Revenge of Gaia
