978-0-9801729-3-5.In Unearthing Life (The Deep History of a Living Planet), Knoll illustrates how evolutionary biologists turn to geology to search for biological signatures of ancient life. Through these same techniques, astrobiologists are then able to search for signs of life on other planets. Using multiple cameras, satellite images, charts, maps, and photos from the field, interwoven with graphs, diagrams, original illustrations, and student art and music, this interactive DVD is methodically rich, meaningful, and a timely learning tool. An excellent addition to any academic or public library collection; highly recommended.
