Synopsis
This book offers an advanced introduction to the increasingly robust fields of extrasolar planets and astrobiology. No other text currently available applies this level of mathematics and physics, while also providing an extensive grounding in key issues of chemistry, biology, and geophysics. With extensive references to the literature and chapter-ending exercises, this book can be used as the core text for teaching undergraduate or introductory graduate level courses. The text will also provide astrobiologists with an indispensable "User's Manual" when quick reference to key mathematical and physical techniques is needed. A continually updated online component, fully cross referenced with the text, is also available. Foreword by Geoff Marcy.

September 12, 2008: This text joins the ranks of a number of texts on exoplanets and astrobology. What sets it apart is that it presents physical and mathematical techniques and principles that will be invaluable for teaching and training the next generation of astrobiologists. Not only that, but it's also really readable, and packed full of interesting facts and discussions. It's just a joy to have this on the shelf - for teachers, students, and researchers
