A Traveler’s Guide to Mars $6.99 In this extraordinary Baedeker – accessible, up-to-date, and prodigiously illustrated with photographs from Mariner 9, Viking, Pathfinder, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the ongoing Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft – visitors will encounter: Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system; Tharsis Planitia, the “high plains of Mars”; Valles Marineris, an equatorial canyon so vast that America’s Grand Canyon would be a mere tributary. Plus: the “face” on mars, the White Rock, the “Canals” of Xanthe – and the first possible evidence of an ancient Martian life-form. |

Mars Life : 0765357240 $1.88 DIVPJamie Waterman discovered the cliff dwelling on Mars, and the fact that an intelligent race lived on the red planet sixty-five million years ago, only to be driven into extinction by the crash of a giant meteor. Now the exploration of Mars is itself under threat of extinction, as the ultraconservative New Morality movement gains control of the U.S. government and cuts off all funding for the Mars program.BRBRMeanwhile, Carter Carleton, an anthropologist who was driven from his university post by unproven charges of rape, has started to dig up the remains of a Martian village. Science and politics clash on two worlds as Jamie desperately tries to save the Mars program and uncover who the vanished Martians were./P/DIVDIVDIVDIVA six-time winner of the Hugo Award, a former editor ofIAnalog/I, former editorial director ofIOmni/I, and past president of the National Space Society and the Science Fiction Writers of America,BBen Bova/Bis the author of more than a hundred works of science fact and fiction.

But that doesn’t mean that it’s very much like Earth./PPBarely half of Earth’s size, Mars orbits roughly one and a half times farther from the Sun than Earth does. It is a small, cold, seemingly barren world, a frozen desert of ironrust sands from pole to pole./PPYet Mars is a spectacular world. The tallest mountain in the solar system is the aptly named Olympus Mons, a massive shield volcano three times higher than Everest, with a base as wide as the state of Idaho. The main caldera at Olympus Mons’s summit could swallow Mt. Everest entirely. Other huge volcanoes dot the Tharsis highlands, all of them long extinct./PPAlmost halfway across the planet is Hellas Planitia, an enormous impact crater nearly the size of Australia and some five kilometers deep, gouged out when a huge mete?þzáG®ÿ¾Úx |

Planet Mars: Story of Another World $44.53 Mars, like planet Earth, is a complex and vast world with a long history. The authors of this book give a new insight of Mars by adopting an original outline based on history rather than on subtopic (atmosphere, surface, interior). They focus on the past and present evolution of Mars and also incorporate all the recent results from the space missions of Mars Express, Spirit and Opportunity.pThis book goes to the heart of current planetological research, and illustrates it with many beautiful images. The authors describe the magnificent scenery on Mars including Olympus Mons, more than 20,000 metres high and the solar systema (TM)s biggest volcano. At Marsa (TM) poles, glaciers, formed from thousands of fine strata, are evidence of past climatic fluctuations. Drs Forget and Costard and Professor LognonnA(c) introduce a new world and reveal the workings of the planet Mars. They answer the questions: How was Mars formed? Why has its evolution followed a different path to that of Earth? What do its river beds, volcanoes and glaciers tell us about its past? Could life have existed there? Does it exist there now? What processes a ~drivea (TM) Mars today?pThe five parts of the book trace the history of Mars. Part 1 examines its formation from the ashes of dead stars, more than 4A-5 billion years ago. Part 2 travels through its early and turbulent youth and gradual, 3A-5-billion-year long metamorphosis. Part 3 traces the creation of great planetary structures while Part 4 explores this active planet as it is today, with its dust storms, water features and atmosphere, and shows that Mars is subject to continual climatic change. Finally in Part 5, the story of the recent exploration ofMars and current research in laboratories and space agencies in preparation for the missions of the next twenty years is recounted.From the reviews:pThis would be an excellent book to give someone who is interested in Mars a ] . Translated from the French, it could be enjoyed by a laypers@FC×=p¤ÿ¾Úx |
