Review
'... it's likely to become a classic on the subject, and is entertaining and informative enough for anyone to read with pleasure ... the illustrations are particularly good - characterful, informative, and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny. High recommended.' Focus
'The copious, full colour illustrations are fun ... ranging from fine astronomical photographs to whimsical portraits of imaginary aliens ... This would be a good read for an enquiring 10 or 12 year old, or for an adult who wants a quick and accessible primer into the world of SETI research.' Astronomy Now
'... it is clearly written and the material is accurate and jargon-free ... there are many handsome colour illustrations ... overall, I enjoyed reading this short book. It should give the general reader a basic insight into SETI, how it is done, and how important it is to do it.' The Observatory
'Cosmic Company is a concise and up-to-date account of the aims, hopes, problems and challenges that arise in the search for intelligent life beyond Earth.' Astronomy and Space
'The copious, full-colour illustrations are fun, though, ranging from fine astronomical photographs to whimsical portraits of imaginary aliens. ... This would be a good read for an enquiring 10 or 12 year old, or for an adult who wants a quick and accessible primer into the world of SETI research.' Astronomy Now
