This Is Mars offers a thrilling visual experience of the surface of
the red planet. The multi-award-winning French editor and designer
Xavier Barral has chosen and composed photographic frames, drawn
from the comprehensive photographic map of Mars made by the U.S.
observation satellite MRO (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter), to revel
in the wonder of Mars. What Yann Arthus-Bertrand did with a light
aircraft for The Earth from the Air , Barral does for Mars-by
scouring tens of thousands of gigabytes of satellite photographs
available from NASA, seeking out the most distinct images of the
planet's surface. The result is visionary-a great science book, a
unique artist's book, and a stunning object. The photographs are
accompanied by an introduction from research scientist Alfred S.
McEwen, principle investigator of the HiRISE telescope; an essay by
astrophysicist Francis Rocard, who explains the story of Mars's
origins and its evolution; and a timeline by geophysicist Nicolas
Mangold, who demystifies some of Mars's geological history. Now
available as a mid-sized, accessibly priced edition, This Is Mars
will excite lovers of great photobooks, and everyone curious about
the universe and beyond.
