A year or so ago, you had to attend a meeting of the Division for Planetary
Sciences to stare wide-eyed at 3D images of the Martian surface taken by the
Pathfinder spacecraft. Now you can find the same images in full-colour foldouts,
complete with 3D glasses, in Mars: Uncovering the Secrets of the Red Planet. With
more than a hundred other full-colour photos of Mars, and text by Paul Raeburn,
it’s the perfect coffee-table book. Published by National Geographic Society,
Washington DC, $40, ISBN 0792273737.
