The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Listening for Life in the Cosmos (Wiley Science Editions) - Hardcover
Within the infinite universe there exists the infinite possibility that we are not alone. Since 1959, scientists engaged in the SETI effort (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) have been quietly searching the cosmos for evidence of intelligent life - a discovery that, if made, will be the most dramatic event in human history. However, it is getting harder to detect signals from space - the very technology that makes it possible to detect other civilizations is now clogging the skies with radio pollution from ground-based radio transmitters, spy satellites, and communications satellites. In this intriguing behind-the-scenes view of the search for ET, McDonough reveals recent scientific advances and controversies, battles with the government to get various projects funded, and international projects - particularly those of the Soviets who are years ahead of us in the race to "phone ET".
