The Red Planet - a natural history of Mars
Piecing together the latest research, data, theories and informed speculation, this book is as close as we can get to an eye-witness account of Mars. From the planet's formation 4.5 billion years ago, through meteor strikes, explosive volcanoes and a vast ocean to the long, frozen ages that saw its atmosphere steadily thinning and leaking into space, the author presents a vision of our nearest neighbour.
