Echoes of earth

In this “dazzling adventure” from the New York Times–bestselling author, a man adrift in space finds himself facing the edge of madness (Jack McDevitt). The Frank Tipler is just one of a thousand survey vessels sent out into the bubble of space surrounding Earth, seeking habitable worlds and signs of advanced life. Its crew has stumbled across artifacts left behind by a benevolent trader species, but the decision to study them is fraught with danger and uncertainty. The Tipler's crew consists of forty flawed electronic copies of human beings, some of them profoundly damaged—and Earth stopped responding to signals over a century ago. Caught between madness and political machinations, Alander stands on the brink of what might be the greatest discovery humanity has ever made—and a gift that humanity can’t afford to accept. “ECHOES OF EARTH is a dazzling adventure, sweeping the reader along from marvel to wonder, and it includes one of the most heart-stopping moments I've encountered in a novel in years.” —Jack McDevitt “[The] book can't be discussed or even described without spoiling some of the surprises, which are mutually reinforcing as well as juicy in themselves. I will, however, give in to the temptation to drop a few more of the names that came to mind as I was reading: the Three Gregs (Bear, Benford, Egan), Linda Nagata, and Frederik Pohl…. As the first of a series... ECHOES promises to rev its Ideas right past the red-line and drive them hard.” —Locus “The science in...

L. Sue Baugh Honorable Mention, Art Book Critique by Jendi Reiter L. Sue Baugh and Lynn Martinelli traveled to some of the oldest and most remote rock formations in the world to photograph the remarkable landscapes in Echoes of Earth: Finding Ourselves in the Origins of the Planet. Designed and self-published by Baugh, this art book doubles as a work of popular science that illustrates the elemental connections between our bodies and the mineral kingdom. The authors state in their foreword, "As artists, we sought to experience a landscape that echoed what ancient Earth might have been like long before humanity appeared." Each chapter profiles a location where the pair sought out distinctive and visually striking geological formations, from Mt. Narryer in the Australian Outback to Akilia Island in Greenland, as well as several American and Canadian sites. The reader learns about the rugged travel adventures that enabled them to reach the site, and the spiritual impact of communing with the landscape. More than any other photo book in the contest, Echoes of Earth employed varied and sophisticated composition techniques to maintain visual interest in its single topic. Diagrams and illustrated maps structured the narrative. Gatefold pages to emphasize the majestic sweep of a mountain range or waterway were interspersed with close-ups of tiny colorful succulents growing between the rocks. Cut-out windows put a detail of a patterned rock into context on the following page. The a...

Chapter two entitled Looking to the Rocks: Molecular Clues to the Origin of Life looks at the findings of Sir 2 to organic molecules during If it was hard to resist the mystique and romance of three-billion-year-old rocks that might contain clues to the origin of life on Earth, it was even harder to resist a hunt for signs of life or its precursors on other planets—if only for the thrill of seeing and handling their rocks.
