reviewed The Scientific Exploration of Mars on January 08, 2014 The Scientific Exploration of Mars
The book is very interesting with it's black-and-white pictures and it's incredible amount of detail on Mars. It is partly outdated because it was wrote in 2010. I hope they add an updated version of this book because there are new things they found on Mars with the lander that landed on Mars in 2012(Curiosity).
i. The book starts by talking about the interesting questions and discoveries of stuff on Mar, like "is there water on Mars?" Later it talks about if humans can really live on Mars and the probes exploring Mars. It later showed some panoramas of Mars that are real. Lastly it made a scenario of what happens when we humans land on Mars. The end.
ii. I picked up the book because it showed a picture of the mars lander Opportunity before it got dropped off by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. the second reason I had was that I am looking forward to one of the space agencies landing the first human on Mars.
iii. I always finished books, it's my habit with the exceptions of novels, fiction books and sometimes Atlases I cannot finish halfway.
iv. I would recommend it to Andy, Matthew or Sandy. Not sure that they will read it...
