Klappentext A beautifully illustrated exploration of the ultimate extreme environment - space Vorwort A beautifully illustrated exploration of the ultimate extreme environment - space Zusammenfassung A beautifully illustrated exploration of the ultimate extreme environment - space From the icy poles to the deepest parts of the oceans, humans have explored Earth's most challenging environments, and have even journeyed on into space. But how did these places form and what are the features that make them unique? How do humans live and work in these harsh landscapes? Most importantly, how is human activity impacting them and their natural inhabitants and wildlife, and what does the future hold for them? Life at Extremes: Space explores the vast, distant and mysterious expanses of space and looks at how we on Earth have managed to travel into it and survive its many challenges. It describes how, as technology progresses, space tourism and even colonies on other planets are becoming less of a distant dream and more of a future reality.
