The interdisciplinary field of Astrobiology constitutes a joint arena where provocative discoveries are coalescing concerning, e.g. the prevalence of exoplanets, the diversity and hardiness of life, and its increasingly likely chances for its emergence. Biologists, astrophysicists, biochemists, geoscientists and space scientists share this exciting mission of revealing the origin and commonality of life in the Universe. The members of the different disciplines are used to their own terminology and technical language. In the interdisciplinary environment many terms either have redundant meanings or are completely unfamiliar to members of other disciplines. The Encyclopedia of Astrobiology serves as the key to a common understanding. Each new or experienced researcher and graduate student in adjacent fields of astrobiology will appreciate this reference work in the quest to understand the big picture. The carefully selected group of active researchers contributing to this work and the expert field editors intend for their contributions, from an internationally comprehensive perspective, to accelerate the interdisciplinary advance of astrobiology. This new edition offers ~300 new entries. Many entries were expanded or supplemented by figures supporting the understanding of the text. Especially in the field of astrochemistry there is a huge body of new results that have been taken into account in this new edition. The synonyms and keywords have been carefully revisited. Many were added, redundant ones deleted.

C’est autour de l’année 1859 que la préhistoire s’affirme, à l’échelle de l’Europe, comme un domaine de recherche nouveau et fécond. Les grandes disciplines des sciences naturelles (géologie, paléontologie…) et des sciences de l’homme (archéologie, histoire, philologie…) participent à la création de cette nouvelle science à travers les débats fondateurs portant sur l’ancienneté de l’homme et sur son origine animale. En une décennie, c’est toute la conception des origines de l’humanité qui s’en trouve bouleversée de façon profonde et durable au moment même où se diffuse la théorie darwinienne de l’évolution. Cet ouvrage propose une relecture de cette période primordiale de l’histoire de l’archéologie préhistorique. Pour cela, il s’intéresse non seulement aux découvertes et aux idées qui ont nourri la connaissance mais également aux acteurs (chercheurs officiels et amateurs) et aux institutions (congrès, revues, sociétés savantes, musées, Muséum…) qui ont porté son développement et son rayonnement. Cette étude se place en continuité avec les démarches actuelles de la recherche sur les premières industries du Nord de la France et de la muséologie de la préhistoire.
