When The Privileged Planet was first published in 2004, it garnered both praise and rage. But its argument has stood the test of time. In this completely revised 20th anniversary edition, Gonzalez and Richards show how thousands of discoveries of extrasolar planets over the last two decades have only strengthened their counter to the modern dogma that Earth is nothing more than the winner of a blind cosmic lottery. They show how earthlike planets are exquisitely fit not only to sustain life, but to provide the best platform to discover the hidden wonders of the cosmos.
