Book Reviews of Landscapes of Mars: A Visual Tour
Book Review: Beautiful Escapism
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
