Rezensionen

In this short and highly technical monograph, retired psychology professor Andre Kukla examines the possibility of communicating with extraterrestrials. John Rimmer's Magonia Blog, 13 January 2010 Virtually since the birth of theorizing, theorists have been enthralled by the prospect of intelligent extraterrestrial life. And in our own day a good deal of toil and treasure is being devoted to explore the possibilities. The nature of this enterprise raises many fascinating and complex question across the whole spectrum of human knowledge about life, intelligence, and language. Kukla's book provides a penetrating and instructive conspectus of the substantial array of important issue at stake. -- Nicholas Rescher, University of Pittsburgh
