Reviews
From the reviews: "A basic premise of this work is that 'human migration into space will be the continuation of the natural process of evolution.' ... the authors examine the pros and cons of colonization and conclude that it both can and should be attempted. To support their case, they note some potential catastrophes that could lead to the extinction of humans, and believe that space colonization may be necessary for the survival of the human species. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates and general readers." (T.

They make space colonization seems like a natural step by demonstrating that if will continue the human species' 4 million-year-old legacy of adaptation to difficult new environments. The authors present many examples from the history of human expansion into new environments, including two amazing tales of human colonization - the prehistoric settlement of the upper Arctic around 5,000 years ago and the colonization of the Pacific islands around 3,000 years ago - which show that space exploration is no more about rockets and robots that Arctic exploration was about boating!, Emigrating Beyond Earth puts space colonization into the context of human evolution.

- l***i (14)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThe item was missing a piece. When I wrote the seller they offered an immediate refund! They were prompt and fast and gracious. This sellers is an honest and ethical person and I would do business with them in the future. The item was shipped in a safe package and I was able to reuse their packing to send the item back. The refund process was easy and the shipping was free. I highly recommend this seller due to their ethical treatment of me in this situation.
- i***m (32)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoReceived in four business days. Packaged well in a bit of an oversized box for the product -- 'packaged well' being the key phrase. Wasn't expecting the game to be as small in size as it is but it's a pleasant surprise. Product itself is in immaculate condition. It is indeed complete and in near mint condition. All components are present; box itself is free from dents, dings or blemishes. Added penguin miniatures into a storage container of my own. Not a single complaint. Well done, seller!
