This book introduces the reader to the wonders of Mars, covering
all aspects from our past perceptions of the planet through to the
latest knowledge on its history, its surface processes such as
impact cratering, volcano formation, and glaciation, and its
atmosphere and climate. In addition, a series of ten intriguing
open issues are considered in a more advanced way. These include
such thought-provoking questions as What turned off the planet's
magnetic field?, Why are the northern and southern hemispheres so
different?, What was the fate of the once abundant water?, and Is
there, or was there, life on Mars? Numerous original figures,
unavailable elsewhere, reproduce details of images from Viking,
CTX, MOC, HiRISE, THEMIS, and HRSC. The book will appeal especially
to general readers interested in planetary sciences, astronomy,
astrogeology, and space exploration and to students of Earth
Sciences and Natural and Environmental Sciences. The higher-level
material on the remaining mysteries of Mars will also be of
interest to astrogeologists and other researchers.
