A Destiny of Cosmic Life. I recommend this book as preliminary reading for anyone researching panspermia or wanting to understand where we were in 2014 in ‘the search for life off earth’. This is also my autobiography. Together with the late Sir Fred Hoyle we developed the theory of life being a cosmic phenomenon, a theory for which the evidence is now overwhelming. The book traces a personal story of discovery from my early life in Sri Lanka, to Cambridge and Cardiff”, Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe. This book covers some interesting topics that you probably would not normally find at your local bookstore and this posed some challenges when it came to one key area of the publishing process – how to market your book. We knew who our intended audience was and so we devised a specific marketing plan so that we could reach them, make them aware of our work, and hopefully encourage them to read it!
35 Books
Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe has 35 published books and a large number of papers. Most are available through all the standard book distribution channels and even on Amazon.
I also recommend this wonderful science fiction book by my mentor, my late friend and my “much missed” collaborator Sir Fred Hoyle. This is available on Kindle and is a fine gift.
All My Scientific Papers
All my scientific papers including those where I collaborate with many of the world’s top physicists and astrobiologists can be listed using http://scholar.google.com and accessed through standard channels for academic papers.
FREE Academic Paper
Finally I recommend a FREE academic paper written by my colleague W.E. Smith which summarizes the status of Panspermia in 2013. We consider last year (2013) was a watershed year in the long history of Panspermia, as this was the year when NASA and the Kepler Mission announced there were at least 144 billion earth-like planets around sun-like stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. This was the point that Panspermia finally moved into mainstream science.
