‘Life on Other Planets: Finding My Place in the Universe‘ by Aomawa Shields (Viking; July 11): At first discouraged by a professor from pursuing astrology, Shields writes about how she first became an actor, then went back to school to become an astronomer who studies worlds beyond our solar system.
