Review
`A wonderful work of intellectual history and a permanent addition to the Mars bookshelf.' Kim Stanley Robinson, author of the `Red Mars' trilogy and `The Years of Rice and Salt'`Splendid...the best factual book on Mars that money can buy.' New Scientist`A remarkable book...to read this book is to become infected with a fascinating which I hadn't realised Mars held.' James Hamilton-Paterson, London Review of Books`A beautifully intelligent meditation on place, and on the paradoxes of place that apply to a place like Mars...it will be around for a long time to come.' Francis Spufford, Evening Standard`Morton's writing blends romance and rationalism...His treatment strikes a nice balance between the wry journalistic observer and erudite cultural historian. But he finishes with the conviction that the presence of intelligence on Earth means that the futures of the two planets are bound together. Read it, and you'll be convinced too.' Jon Turney
