I received a copy from St. Martin's Press through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve always been interested in space, so any time I see an interesting book on space travel or space in general, I know I have to read it. This time around, I spotted this book on space and looking at possible life on other planets. If we’re here, there has to be intelligent life somewhere out there, right? That’s what I’ve always believed, anyway! Technology has taken us a long way, but there’s only so far in space that we can see. The further away a planet is, the further back in time we’re viewing where that planet is on that adventure. It’s quite interesting, but it’s hard to tell whether or not there’s intelligent life out there because we’re looking at them in the past just as they would see Earth long in our past.
This was an excellent read. Lisa takes a lot of fascinating information and tells us about it in a way that’s easy for a non-scientist to understand. There’s a lot of interesting facts on other planets, how Earth is believed to have formed, and what is known based on scientific knowledge as it’s known today. I also really liked reading about her own journey, questions she gives her classes, and her own struggles as a woman in the science field. All in all, this was a wonderful read and I look forward to checking out anything she publishes in the future.
