Description	xiii, 310p.

It scrutinizes what kind of information about extraterrestrial intelligent life can be inferred from our own biological, cultural and scientific evolution and the likely future of mankind.

Title	Lonely minds in the universe
Author(s)	Giancarlo Genta
Publication	New York, Copernicus Books, 2007.
Description	xxv, 289p.
Abstract Note	The book reviews current scientific understanding of the Universe that suggests that life is common, and extraterrestrial intelligent life is a possibility. But our search is limited mainly to radiotelescope observation, and the hope of intercepting and decoding the radio transmissions of other intelligent beings. The author discusses such philosophical questions as: What is intelligence? What is consciousness? Should we expect ETIs to be conscious beings? At the heart of this book is an examination of the viability of future astronautics which would enable closer human contact with ETI than through radio messages taking thousands of years to reach their destination.
