 Title:Echoes of Life: What Fossil Molecules Reveal about Earth History
 Author:Susan M. Gaines, Geoffrey Eglinton, and Jurgen Rullkotter
 Reviewed by:David K. Muirhead
  
  
 
Echoes of Life focuses on the history and synthesis of the discipline organic chemistry, from early experiments in the ‘30s (along with many musings long before then) to current areas of active research. The book moves along in a fantastic story-book-style narrative while never straying from the fundamental science being described.

 Title:History of Life: A Very Short Introduction
 Author:Michael J. Benton
 Reviewed by:Euan Monaghan
  
  
 
Talk to the point, and stop when you have reached it. Be comprehensive in all you say or write. To fill a volume upon nothing is a credit to nobody.

The above quotation, written in the 19th century by American author John Neal, might as well be the motto of the Oxford University Press’ Very Short Introduction range of titles.

Welcome to the Astrobiology Society of Britain

From the origins of life to a human presence on other planetary surfaces, from the effects of asteroid and comet impacts on the Earth's environment to the search for life elsewhere, the field of astrobiology covers scientific questions and problems that require inter-disciplinary connections between biological and space sciences.

Mission Statements 

The Astrobiology Society of Britain, founded in March 2003, serves its members and the astrobiology community as a whole in the UK in fostering links between the various and many disciplines that comprise the science of astrobiology in order to ensure that astrobiology research in the UK is vigorous, progressive and successful. It seeks to provide a mechanism for members of the astrobiology community to meet, collaborate, make the community aware of UK astrobiology activities, and encourage new students and researchers into the field. It seeks to act as a professional society to organise and co-sponsor meetings and provide an environment favourable for the development of inter-disciplinary connections between biological and space sciences.

Astrobiology has recently experienced a great surge of interest within the wide scientific community involving both space and non-space disciplines. Cambridge University Press recognises the importance of this emerging field, and the need to exchange information between distant researchers in seemingly disparate fields.  The Cambridge Astrobiology series aims to facilitate the communication of recent advances in astrobiology, and to foster the development of scientists conversant in the wide array of disciplines needed to carry astrobiology forward. Cambridge University Press invites the members of the Astrobiology Society of Brtain to submit proposals for books to complement this expanding series. Potential authors are encouraged to read this document and contact the series editors for informal discussion.
