I bought this book for my husband's recent birthday and he was totally blown away by it. First of all the 3D images are brilliant and the book itself is so informative. For some days now he hasn't been able to put the book down! Can't get any better than that.

Beautiful Escapism
2 Aug 2009
Format:Hardcover
This is a fun picture book for all ages. It would be well placed in a science teacher's classroom collection, or even in a science-buff's collection of coffee table books. While the text is filled with wonderful descriptions of Martian geology, of particular interest are the spectacular stereoscopic images of the Martian surface. This book takes the scientists view of space exploration, not that of an engineer, and devotes the bulk of it's attention to the planet. It does not spend a great deal of space describing the various engineering and robotics technologies that go into Mars exploration. Nor does it focus on the various challenges facing the team of scientists and engineers who command these enormously successful scientific adventures.
I pick up this book whenever I'm home alone and want to explore while feeling hopelessly earthbound and find myself endlessly revisiting it.

Excellent visual tour of Mars
17 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover
The pictures in this book are outstanding. This book takes you on a fantastic tour of Mars. I especially enjoyed the discussions on the search for water on Mars and also the Viking mission as it searched for life. The 3D images of Mars was an unexpected surprise! I would highly recommend this book for everyone, especially teachers. This would be a great resource for the classroom.

Disapointed
25 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm reading Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars and there is so much in it about the topography of Mars that I wanted a Mars Atlas so I could look up each area Robinson mentioned. I hoped this book would allow that. It doesn't. There is no index so it is impossible to look up anything. Read the book straight through or nothing. So I was very disappointed in it.
