About the Author
Clive Gifford has written many books on a wide variety of subjects for both adults and children. He is renowned for the meticulousness and depth of his research and he has won several awards.
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-Mars addresses such questions as why people are interested to travel to the red planet, how long it would take to get there, what living there would be like, and more. Planet contains basic information about global warming, air and water pollution, sources of energy, and other topics of environmental concern. Both lively books contain many experiments to help readers understand the concepts presented. The black-and-white cartoons on every page will make these titles quick movers in libraries; the numerous illustrations and open format should appeal to reluctant readers. However, the books are somewhat at odds with one another; in Mars, Gifford advocates terraforming, if it is possible, which is "[t]he technical term for shaping a planet to make it more like Earth," while in Planet, Taylor tells how we have messed up Earth. With its NASA photos, Anne Schraff's Are We Moving to Mars? (John Muir, 1996) (which is also pro terraforming) might appeal more to serious students.
