The story of Europa has broad appeal, not only because of its implications for extraterrestrial life, but also because the fabulous images obtained byGalileo spacecraft show spectacular crack patterns, extensive rifts and ridges, and refrozen pools of exposed water filled with rafts of displaced ice. The story of Europa is about the rough and tumble of the very human enterprise of science, as well as the fantastic new world that has been discovered. With its great scientific core (an oceanic moon, extraterrestrial life), with its amazing images, and with its inside story of the rough and tumble of a very human enterprise in science, leading to the discovery of a fantastic new world that might well harbor life, Europa - Alien Biosphere on an Ocean Moon will attract a broad readership. | Unmasking Europa by Richard Greenberg, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
