Official NASA eBook: Archaeology, Anthropology, and Interstellar Communication

Source: NASA



From archaeology to anthropology, this collection of essays addresses the challenges humanity will face when communicating with an extraterrestrial civilization in the event that we make contact with one. Covering topics as apparently diverse as the culture of the ancient Mayans to radio transmission deciphering, these essays are written by archaeologists, anthropologists, and ethnologists, adding fresh perspectives to the fast-growing scientific discipline of astrobiology.
