{"product_id":"the-search-for-extraterrestrials-monte-ross-9780387734538","title":"The Search for Extraterrestrials: Intercepting Alien Signals","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe author explores in detail the key problems in starting a search for extraterrestrial signals, the programs that have failed and those that continue. His book is the first book that treats electromagnetic frequencies besides RF and Microwave as possibilities for signal sources. The book includes the fundamental considerations and the physics of the necessary laser, UV, IR and RF technologies, as well as coding and information theory considerations. It explores future possibilities providing the reader with a comprehensive view of the many ways signals from aliens could be sent and explains why the search using RF leaves more than 99% of the electromagnetic spectrum unexamined. The book also demonstrates the many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, considering the next likely steps in this unique enterprise. The ideas, concepts and approaches are clearly explained without the use of complex maths or physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Monte Ross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0387734538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780387734538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praxis Publications Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.62h x 6.70w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2010","brand":"Monte Ross","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930659635455,"sku":"9780387734538","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52e26921-74be-4298-b04b-9fc054a7d136.jpg?v=1766343377","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-search-for-extraterrestrials-monte-ross-9780387734538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
