19.99 €
The only thing available 1
This is a profound and fascinating book about how we, humans, saw aliens. Before you is a vast panorama of the evolution of human views on the supposed inhabitants of other worlds: from the insights of ancient thinkers to the concepts of modern astrobiologists.
For centuries, dreaming of finding brothers in mind, astronomers, physicists, biologists, philosophers, poets and even politicians (and not just science fiction writers) have thought about what they, the inhabitants of other planets, are like and how we will meet them.
Anton Pervushin, a historian of cosmonautics, the author of a number of science fiction and popular science books, a full member of the Russian Cosmonautics Federation, a member of the Union of Scientists of St. Petersburg, talks about:
• Why did ancient philosophers consider space to be inhabited?
• Why did Kant claim that people are worse than the inhabitants of Mars?
• How did Herbert Wells teach us to fear Martians?
• Did aliens visit Earth in ancient times?
• Was life brought to Earth from space?
• How to find life on planets near other stars?
• When will we be accepted into the Galactic Club?
If you are not yet interested in the issue of searching for extraterrestrial civilizations, start reading the book. Most likely, after this, there will be more scouts of extraterrestrial life and intelligence.
