Either as a reference for scientists or a complete sourcebook for
serious amateur astronomers, this volume summarizes what is presently
known about Mars, covering the history of Mars study and exploration
as well as geophysics, bedrock geology, surface, atmosphere,
exosphere and magnetic field, and climate history. It contains
numerous b&w illustrations and 18 color plates; accompanying it (not
bound into it) are three relief maps and three geology maps prepared
by the US Geological Survey. Mightily impressive.
