Beschreibung
Following NASA's very recent discovery of vast amounts of water just
beneath the Martian surface, Jeffrey Kargel presents a brand new treatment
of Martian geologic and climatic history. A fresh perspective on the
ideas of oceans and glaciation and young water runoff features - at best
poorly represented in current books - will capture every reader's
imagination and enthusiasm for the Red Planet.
