A great overview of mars and its history (up to 2004 so there’s plenty of new research and information to be added on top of this) but still a great little succinct book nonetheless.
It has some fab pictures in it too and outlined pages on Mars weather, mar rovers and previous missions, the moons of mars, faces of mars and all sorts of information regarding the much loved red planet. There’s not an abundance of overwhelming information here so it’s great for a flick through if you don’t fancy reading a big heavy, hard hitting book with lots of words.
