A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
A science journalist follows Jill Tarter's career to explain how SETI became a research program, how searches are designed, and why the absence of a confirmed signal leaves the question open.
Good starting place if…
You want to understand the people and methods behind SETI through a readable human story.
Know before you begin…
This is a biography and history of the search, not a current survey of every instrument or evidence that a signal has been found. Pair changing research details with current scientific sources.
