Weird life : the search for life that is very, very different from our own / David M. Toomey. by Toomey, David M. W. W. Norton & Co., 2013. Call #: 570 T672w Subjects Extreme environments -- Microbiology.   Life (Biology)   Biology. ISBN:  9780393071580 (hc.) 0393071588 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  288 p., [8] p. of plates ; 21 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 241-255) and index. Summary:  Distilling complex science in clear and lively prose, David Toomey illuminates the research of the biological avant-garde and describes the workings of weird organisms in riveting detail: organisms that live off acid rather than water, microbes that thrive at temperatures and pressure levels so extreme that their cellular structures should break down, that live on rock surfaces in the American southwest, near hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor, or even in our own bodies. He reveals how our current knowledge of life forms may account for only a tiny fraction of what's really out there.
