Civilized Life in the Universe: Scientists on Intelligent Extraterrestrials
A short potted history of astronomy and speculation about extraterrestrial life, with a social science critique of the technological determinism of SETI.
It's not likely to be anybody's first history of astronomy: while deftly done, the recap doesn't add anything new. The critique is good but fairly superficial. I'd rather read the book where he takes each element of his objections, from notions of "progress" to technological determinism, and really nails them to the wall instead of just tossing them out.
Still, it's a short and pleasant read.
