This revised edition of Simon's book Mars includes new pictures from the Mars Orbiter Camera, the Hubble Space Telescope,
and the Pathfinder lander, all launched since the publication of the earlier
volume. The text also reflects NASA missions that gathered information about
Mars in the late 1990s. In the same handsome format as Simon's other books on
the planets, this volume offers a timely update of knowledge and speculation
about the red planet.
