Synopsis
This book by "the Good Doctor" Isaac Asimov contains his ideas and theories about the potential for life on other planets. Using logic and the methods for scientific investigation, Asimov's work in this book (originally published in 1979) is remarkably astute even for being written in days before the Hubble Telescope and our current level of knowledge about space.
