A Traveler's Guide To Mars

The Mysterious Landscapes Of The Red Planet

BY WILLIAM HARTMANN

Brief Description:
Conceived and created like a real travel guide-factual, accessible, heavily illustrated, with practical advice for the would-be traveler-this book brings together all the remarkable information scientists have recently learned about Mars, and conveys it in the engaging, lively style that made its author the first winner of the Carl Sagan Medal for public communication of planetary science. Taken around Mars like tourists, readers will discover mysterious dry riverbeds, the largest volcano in the solar system-Olympus Mons, three times higher than Mount Everest-a possible ancient sea floor, giant impact craters, "the face on Mars," and other wonders.
