About this title

Review:

"Sixteen international pioneers in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence relate their involvement by answering the same 71 questions about their lives and SETI ideas. The result is a unique perspective on individual ideas, interpretations, and background." --Booklist"He allows some of the most imaginative scientific thinkers of our time to hold forth on their views regarding SETI and extraterrestrial life and on how the field has developed. . . . Readers will react with a range of opinions as broad as those concerning the likelihood of success in SETI itself." --Science"Anybody with the slightest curiosity about SETI will probably enjoy it, and even active SETI researchers may find some fruitful ideas for the future." --Icarus"A collection of 16 interviews with the scientists constituting the first generation of post-radio astronomy searchers for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). . . . Recommended." --Choice"An invaluable record of just what makes the original SETI pioneers tick. . . . a goldmine of original information." --New Scientist"A treasure of insights that humanize the field as never before." --Air & Space
