Inspired by conversations with 🚕 drivers all over the world, astrobiologist Charles Cockell’s TAXI FROM ANOTHER PLANET tackles the questions that everyday people have about the cosmos and our place in it. Will we understand aliens? What if there isn’t life out in the universe? Is Mars our Plan B? And why is the government spending tax dollars on space programs anyway? Out today from @harvardpress 🙌🚀 Advance praise: “[The author]...does a great job blending cutting-edge science with philosophical considerations. This is a joy to read.”―@publisherswkly (⭐️ review) “Most astronomers find it hard to respond to questions from the public without lapsing into jargon or technicalities, but Charles Cockell is a natural communicator. Taxi from Another Planet conveys an array of ideas―all fascinating, and some profound―with a light touch and utter clarity. Accessible to anyone curious about the cosmos.”―Martin Rees, coauthor of The End of Astronauts 🚕🚕🚕⭐️⭐️⭐️🪐🪐🪐🌎🌍🌏👍👍👍 cc @edinburghuniversity 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
