Book Description
Outer Cryo Worlds is a book about the fascinating world of celestial bodies with cryo, or freezing conditions. For example, with average temperatures about 200 degrees colder than Earth’s, Saturn’s moon Titan is a cryo world, one with astoundingly different sights, textures and physical forces. With such stark differences to the world, we are accustomed to, cryo worlds create a whole new universe for our imaginations, with new sightseeing adventures, sport activity potential and, who knows, maybe even extraterrestrial life. The book familiarises the reader with the concept of outer cryo worlds and their mesmerising nature. With amusing anecdotes about cryogenics and celestial bodies, it helps spark imagination and curiosity to really bring these worlds to life. Based on real facts that we know about Outer Cryo Worlds, the book takes the reader on a vivid imaginary journey of flying with tech-wings in Titan’s atmosphere or swimming in its liquid methane lakes in futuristic suits. It vividly paints the picture of what it's like to open a bottle of champagne on conquering Olympus Mons on Mars. The book also shares the author’s long-standing fascination with effects low temperatures have on life. It starts with a simple question: what happens to living organisms at low temperatures. Based on what we know about life in the deep waters of Earth, the author speculates what life would look like if it was sparked in oceans that might exist under the ice crusts of Jovian planets moons, inviting the readers on an imaginary mission of replacing tracking buoys attached to a gigantic snailfish-like creature in the abyss of Europa Ocean.

All These Worlds Are Yours
Author: Jon Willis
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300224753
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
An astronomer explores the science of astrobiology in this “serious but accessible examination of the prospects for finding life elsewhere in the universe” (Sean Carroll, author of The Big Picture). Describing the most recent discoveries made with space exploration technology, including the Kepler space telescope, the Mars Curiosity rover, and the New Horizons probe, astronomer Jon Willis asks readers to consider five possible scenarios for finding extraterrestrial life. He reviews what we know and don’t know about the life-sustaining potential of Mars’s subsoil ice and the water-ice moons Europa and Enceladus. He also looks at Saturn’s moon Titan through the lens of our own planet’s ancient past. In this concise yet far-reaching volume, Willis even looks beyond our solar system, investigating the top candidates for a “second Earth” in a myriad of exoplanets. “Through humorous, concise, accessible writing, Willis eloquently presents the growing—though still circumstantial—evidence that we are not alone."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

ISBN: 3319738453
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 943
Book Description
The Earth has limited resources while the resources in space are virtually unlimited. Further development of humanity will require going beyond our planet and exploring of extraterrestrial bodies and their resources. This book investigates Outer Solar Systems and their prospective energy and material resources. It presents past missions and future technologies and solutions to old problems that could become reality in our life time. The book therefore is a great resource of condensed information for specialists interested in current and impending Outer Solar Systems related activities and a good starting point for space researchers, inventors, technologists and potential investors.

The RNA World
Author: Raymond F. Gesteland
Publisher: CSHL Press
ISBN: 0879697393
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 774
Book Description
Recent studies on the activities of RNA in the cell have revolutionized our understanding of the many roles played by this molecule. The first two editions of The RNA World(1993, 1999) shed light on the pre–biotic era dominated by this versatile molecule, and provided an overview of the state of RNA research at the time. The new third edition of The RNA Worldupdates this perspective, describing the vast array of newly discovered roles for RNA in the modern world. The updated original chapters are supplemented with new chapters on RNA–protein complexes, snRNPs and snoRNPs, telomerase RNA, RNAi, microRNAs, noncoding RNA, and many other subjects. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the biology of nucleic acids and gene regulation and a valuable resource for teaching these concepts.
