The Red Planet : A Natural History Of Mars
Paperback Edition: 1
An enthralling narrative journey through the paradoxes, eccentricities and mysteries of Mars by an award-winning writer, geologist and geophysicist.
Mars is never far from our news headlines or imaginations: there has never been a better time to acquaint ourselves with its dramatic history and astonishing present.
From the planet's formation 4.5 billion years ago, through eras that featured cataclysmic meteor strikes, explosive volcanoes and a vast ocean that spanned the entire upper hemisphere, to the long, frozen ages that saw its atmosphere steadily thinning and leaking away into space, Dr Simon Morden presents a tantalising vision of our nearest neighbour.
Piecing together the latest research, theories and informed speculation, The Red Planet is as close as we can get to an eye-witness account of this incredible place.
