(2) 4-6 NASA scientist Chris McKay examines microbes in extreme Earth environments, gathering information about possible life in space. More than just scientific explanation, this is an in-depth look at a field scientist's adventurous career. First-rate photographs and illustrations serve mainly as a travelogue of the expeditions, though there are also telling side-by-side comparisons of arid deserts on Earth and Martian landscapes. Reading list, websites. Ind.
