Life Beyond Earth & The Mind of Man NASA SP-328 Symposium 1973 1st Ed

Description: Rare vintage NASA publication: "Life Beyond Earth & The Mind of Man," edited by Richard Berendzen. First edition, published 1973 (NASA SP-328), documenting a renowned Boston University symposium on the possibilities of extraterrestrial life and the human mind’s quest for meaning in the universe. Contributors include Carl Sagan, George Wald, and Ashley Montagu. Includes essays, symposium transcripts, and thought-provoking discussions between leading scientists, philosophers, and astronomers of the early 1970s. Illustrated with black-and-white photos, including the Andromeda galaxy. Book is complete and solid with 106 pages (5.25" x 7.75"). Pages are clean except for a two-page spread with some ink marks and one page with a small ink drop (looks like from a leaky pen). Covers show moderate shelf and handling wear, including edge/corner wear, finger bends, creases, and abrasions. Please see all photos for exact condition. This is a must-have for space enthusiasts, historians of science, and collectors of rare NASA books. Hard to find, especially in this condition. Professional packaging always, since 2003. #NASA #SpaceHistory #CarlSagan #Astronomy #Extraterrestrial #VintageBook #Science #Symposium #FirstEdition
