SPRINGER PRAXIS BOOKS MYSTERIES OF MARS - FAB...

This book introduces the reader to the wonders of Mars  covering all aspects from our past
perceptions of the planet through to the latest knowledge on its history  its surface processes
such as impact cratering  volcano formation  and glaciation  and its atmosphere and climate. In
addition  a series of ten intriguing open issues are considered in a more advanced way. These
include such thought-provoking questions as What turned off the planet's magnetic field?  Why
are the northern and southern hemispheres so different?  What was the fate of the once abundant
water?  and Is there  or was there  life on Mars? Numerous original figures  unavailable
elsewhere  reproduce details of images from Viking  CTX  MOC  HiRISE  THEMIS  and HRSC. The
book will appeal especially to general readers interested in planetary sciences  astronomy 
astrogeology  and space exploration and to students of Earth Sciences and Natural and
Environmental Sciences. The higher-level material on the remaining mysteries of Mars will also
be of interest to astrogeologists and other researchers.
