NASA-SP-2009-4802. NASA History Series. Edited by Steven J. Dick
and Mark L. Lupisella. Authors with diverse backgrounds in science,
history, anthropology, and more, consider culture in the context of
the cosmos. How does our knowledge of cosmic evolution affect
terrestrial culture? Conversely, how does our knowledge of cultural
evolution affect our thinking about possible cultures in the
cosmos? Are life, mind, and culture of fundamental significance to
the grand story of the cosmos that has generated its own
self-understanding through science, rational reasoning, and
mathematics? Book includes bibliographical references and an index.
