Mars is a small world with a big reputation. This mysterious, singular planet - with volcanoes that dwarf Mount Everest, a canyon system that would stretch fully across the United States, and curious landscapes that perhaps once harboured water - has fascinated us for centuries. In the most up-to-date account available of the elusive Red Planet, Stephen James O' Meara follows our longstanding love affair with this unique celestial body, from the musings of humanity' s first stargazers to the imaginings of science-fiction writers, radio broadcasters, and filmmakers, to the latest images and discoveries from the Curiosity rover. The book also reviews plans for piloted missions to Mars - and what it will take for those missions to succeed. ' Presenting the red planet in both fact as well as the many fictions in which it has been featured, and including some of the most up-to-date discoveries from the information collected by the Curiosity rover, this forthcoming book should be of interest to both dedicated astronomers as well as the simply martially curious alike.
