     A Travelers Guide to Mars - William K. Hartmann$15.00
William K. Hartmann.
Paperback, new.
Member Price: $15 In this extraordinary Baedeker—accessible, up-to-date, and prodigiously illustrated with photographs from Mariner 9, Viking, Pathfinder, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the ongoing mars Global Surveyor spacecraft—visitors will encounter: the largest volcano in the solar system, rising three times as high as Mount Everest and covering an area the size of Missouri, the "high plains of Mars," with plains rising 29,000 feet—wide enough to cover Europe, and an equatorial canyon so vast that America's Grand Canyon would be a mere tributary. Plus: the "face" on Mars, the White Rock, the "Canals" of Xanthe—and the first possible evidence of an ancient Martian life-form.
"Superb! The text and images combine beautifully to tell the story of the 'new' Mars and how it got to be that way." —Ray Bradbury, author of The Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451
$15.00 (plus shipping and sales tax in CA only)
