Reviews
Whether you are drawn to the psychological belief in aliens, the history of our interest in life on other planets, or the scientific possibility of alien existence, this book will hold you spellbound., I immediately warmed to this book. It's not only written in terms the average lay person can understand but it follows a well structured theme that has a start, middle and an end. I like that because it maintains order in a subject that deals mainly with a mix of confusing ideologies, fact and scientifically based interpretations., By combining the latest research with historical perception, Alien Universe successfully creates an outstanding inquiry highly recommended for any science-based collection looking for a blend of historical references and modern-day probes., The book is a level-headed fusion of pop culture and the latest scientific advances in the field of astrobiology, discussing the requirements for life on Earth., ""This book comes close to being the definitive guide to where we are in the search for extraterrestrials."", This book comes close to being the definitive guide to where we are in the search for extraterrestrials., Rather than dismiss Alien life out of hand, he presents the historical and social reasons for the growth of our fascination with the possibility. After covering popular ideas, Lincoln then delves into what is scientifically possible, explaining the concepts beautifully and in layman's terms... This is a clear and clear-sighted look at Aliens by a man who would be delighted if one day they appeared., I immediately warmed to this book. It's not only written in terms the average lay person can understand but it follows a well structured theme that has a start, middle, and an end. I like that because it maintains order in a subject that deals mainly with a mix of confusing ideologies, fact and scientifically based interpretations., Whether you are drawn to the psychological belief in aliends, the history of our interest in life on other planets, or the scientific possibility of alien existence, this book will hold you spellbound.

Synopsis
If extraterrestrials exist, where are they? What is the probability that somewhere out there in the universe an Earth-like planet supports an advanced culture? Why do so many people claim to have encountered aliens? In this gripping exploration, scientist Don Lincoln exposes and explains the truths about the belief in and the search for alien life. In the first half of Alien Universe, Lincoln looks to Western civilization's collective image of aliens, showing how our perceptions of extraterrestrials have evolved over time. The roots of this belief can be traced as far back as our earliest recognition that there were other planets in the universe, and the idea of aliens has fascinated us ever since. The world was fooled in the nineteenth century during the Great Moon Hoax of 1835 and again in the twentieth with Orson Welles's 1938 radio broadcast, The War of the Worlds. And our continuing interest is reflected in entertainment successes such as E.T., The X-Files, and Star Trek.The second half of the book deals with the scientific possibility that advanced alien civilizations do exist. For many years, researchers have sought to answer Enrico Fermis great paradoxif there are so many planets in the universe, and a high probability that many of those can support life, then why have we not actually encountered any aliens (apologies to those who are sure we have)? Lincoln describes how modern science teaches us what is possible and what is not., If extraterrestrials exist, where are they?
