THE BIG BOOK OF MARS From Ancient Egypt to The Martian, a Deep-Space Dive into Our Obsession with the Red Planet

Narrator Johnny Heller is an inspired choice for this fun audiobook about the fourth rock from the sun. Not so long ago, people believed Mars had intelligent life that roamed its surface, constructing canals. Now humans dream of visiting there. Heller is equal parts tour guide, scientist, and observer as he shares this comprehensive look at why Earth's inhabitants are so fascinated with the Red Planet. The work also examines the ingenuity that NASA, Elon Musk, and others are contributing to the process of a human junket to the planet's surface. In the meantime, this audiobook will engage Mars's many admirers. J.P.S. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2021]
