Mirror Earth by Michael D. Lemonick
A lively, accessible account of humanity’s search for true Earth analogs that traces how astronomers discovered hundreds of exoplanets, explains the techniques used to find them (radial velocity, transits, microlensing) and the role of missions like Kepler, and explores what the growing census of worlds — from hot Jupiters to potentially habitable super-Earths — implies for the frequency of life, the conditions that define habitability, and the philosophical and practical consequences of knowing whether our planet is rare or commonplace.
