GJ139

GJ139, turning right on SETI brings reality to the SETI field by describing how difficult it is to accomplish SETI while at the same time providing possibilities and ways to accomplish it. The book discusses, where, when, why and how of SETI from the technical issues down to the ethical ones. The first and last chapters are science fiction while the rest is science. The science sections describe millimeter wave SETI (unlike the water hole SETI being done) and introduces chapters on the SETI unknowns: signal types, modulation, decoding and synchronization. The book has many appendices including letters on Enrico Fermi's famous "where are they?" statement, a speech given at NASA's first Astrobiology conference and a list of Millimeter wave telescopes that could be used for SETI.
