An unbiased investigator setting out to discover the truth about life's origins would see two logical paths to follow. The first path points to beginnings of life that are confined to our planet. The second, far less popular path seeks to understand life as a cosmic phenomenon, with the Earth merely playing the role of a receiving home - one amongst countless others in the Universe. There is no a priori reason for preferring any one of these two paths, and so in the absence of further information they must each be regarded as possibilities equally to be explored. -- Contents: List of illustrations; 1. Writ in the Stars 2. Svante Arrhenius 3. Spontaneous Generation and the Organic Soup 4. Survival Kit for Space Travel 5. Comets 6. Cosmic Evolutionary Cycle 7. Interstellar Bacteria 8.
