| Title | Handbook of astrobiology |
| Author(s) | Vera M. Kolb (ed.) |
| Publication | Boca Raton, CRC Press, 2019. |
| Description | xix, 846p. |
| Abstract Note | Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life on Earth. This exciting and significant field of research also investigates the potential existence and search for extra-terrestrial life in the Solar System and beyond.
This is the first handbook in this burgeoning and interdisciplinary field. Edited by Vera Kolb, a highly respected astrobiologist, this comprehensive resource captures the history and current state of the field. Rich in information and easy to use, it assumes basic knowledge and provides answers to questions from practitioners and specialists in the field, as well as providing key references for further study. |

| Title | Life in the universe: From the miller experiment to the search of life on other worlds: Proceedings of the Seventh Trieste Conference on Chemical Evolution and the Origin of life held at Trieste, Italy on 15-19 September 2003 |
| Author(s) | Joseph Seckbach (ed.);Julian Chela-Flores (ed.);Tobias Owen (ed.);Francois Raulin (ed.) |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2004. |

| Series | (Cellular Origin of Life in Extreme Habitats and Astrobiology) |
| Abstract Note | The year 2003 was the 50th anniversary of the seminal experiment of Stanley Miller. This was a unique opportunity for highlighting the current interest in this most interdisciplinary subject. The leading space agencies: the European Space Agency (ESA) as well as NASA, the American Space Agency, have planned missions that will elucidate some of the still unknown questions underlying research in the origin of life. New results are surpassing our ability to keep well informed: the reviews that we were presented at the Trieste meeting will bring the readers of this well-documented and timely book up to date in this fast-moving area.
An important component of the conference was the review of the Cassini-Huygens mission due to arrive in the Saturn system just one year after the conference convened in Trieste. There was particular interest in the status of the experiments that will take place inside the atmosphere of Titan, the large satellite, which is a testing ground for the theories and experiments in the field of chemical evolution.
The Jovian system is currently under study with the view of investigating the possibility of life underneath the frozen surface of the Galilean moon Europa; the ESA mission "Mars Express" and Mars Odyssey received special attention. Some of the world leaders in the field gathered in Trieste in September 2003 - that was a most timely date for reviewing recent data and discussing the prospects of future research. |
