Why Do My Thighs Hurt When Sitting?

Life in the Universe. From myth to science - Ricardo Campo (ed.)
Anomaly Foundation-Lulu / Spain / 2008 / 219 pages

The Anomaly Foundation has concocted a new kid for Camille Flammarion collection, this time under the umbrella of the virtual editorial Lulu, which means big profits for those willing to acquire the work from countries other than Spain. It is "Life in the Universe. From myth to science", a book that had been planned for several years and who for various reasons was finally left in late 2008. And believe me when I say that ended up being better because if you know someone interested in the UFO subject is not what to get for this holiday season, now you know.

"Life in the Universe" contest has several authors, mostly English, who give a look at the UFO phenomenon from two perspectives: the sociological, reviewing the features that has made culture the belief in alien visitors, and astrobiology. Both pillars are erected under the superb direction of Richard Field (author of "UFOs. thymic Go!"), who took the reins of this book two years ago and can finally see the dream come true to create an original and unique in the market on UFO our language.

I say this because of the seriousness with which they address the different topics that shape the book. Here there is a book of individual cases, but rather an attempt reflective rarely have the opportunity to read in Castilian. Following the introduction, which is the responsibility of the Country, the sociologist Ignacio Cabria open fires by analyzing the rise and fall of the aliens in the past decades. Journalist Luis Alfonso Gámez skeptical and whose very name makes the credulones bristling, reviewed in an amused tone to the English who have dedicated themselves to "hunt Martians", or chasing UFOs, basically.

Manuel Borraz reviews the interest of scientists in the matter before us, and progress Luis Gonzalez, author of "The abductions. Thymic Go!" makes a taxonomy of "them." Matías Morey Launches with all your item spoiled, the relationship of the aliens movies, case which had previously made a monumental dossier "Journal of Ufology." Ricardo Campo, editor of the book, discusses the myth of concealment, that the "cover-up." This tasty string of entertaining topics ends with a review of the Chupacabras, from its origins to the chaos of earlier this century by Diego Zúñiga, one of the fools of this Nave.

The second part, devoted to astrobiology, begins with another input field, this time referring to the alien worlds as different cultures on Earth. Manuel Vazquez, the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, Spain, is released to break down the phenomenon of life as possible universal constant. Julian Chela-Flores, International Centre for Theoretical Physics Trieste, Italy, speaks of the physical foundations that sustain the search for life in the universe. Elaborates on exoplanets Eduardo Guerrero, also of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias. The same institution is Cesar Esteban, who spoke of the Fermi paradox and alleged extraterrestrial visits in the past. On the Arecibo Observatory writes someone who knows the topic: Daniel Altschuler, who served for years as director of the radio telescope in Puerto Rico.

As you see, this is a book of high standard, in addition to the six previous works with which this collection had Anomaly Foundation. You can get a copy in this link where you can choose between two options: the download to take a look at the computer, or traditional: a paper book. The prices are ridiculously low when compared with the quality of material, five thousand Chilean pesos discharge, 13 thousand dollars a book. In short, a work worth reading and a special place in any decent library UFO.
