What Books Detail the Unique Factors Promoting Life on Earth?

[RJ Emery]

I seek recommendations and testimonials for books that enumerate the unique factors of the Earth-Moon system that gave rise to life on our planet, its place in the solar system, and the solar system's place in the Milky Way galaxy. If you have read any books on that topic, I would appreciate your feedback. Scientific focus only. Thank you.

Good reference, but twenty years out of date. More factors have been identified in the interim.
