| Review: |
The author provides am account of the study of Mars from the earliest observers of the planets in ancient Greek times to the detailed and complex space exploration missions of today. The author has written several books including the Mir Space Station, Jupiter Odyssey, and brings to life the many milestones and events in the exploration of Mars with many illustrations in black and white. More robotic probes have been launched to Mars than any other planet and interest in the search for life on the planet is a topic of great scientific interest. |
