Fine condition black-and-white photographic softcover wraps. Includes Authors Dedication; List of Photographs and Illustrations; Acknowledgments; Preface; Epilogue; Bibliography; About the Authors and A Request for Action: Purchasing Our Ticket to Mars. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, charts, figures, color diagrams plus color photographic inner front and rear cover photographs. "This presentation is offered not as proof that life exists on Mars, but only to examine some of the unexplained evidence of unusual formations recorded by orbiting satellite cameras on the Mariner and Viking Missions which are found to be highly provocative. One such land feature has become one of the most controversial subjects discussed for over a decade. Within theses pages are presented the images of a feature in the Cydonia region of Mars which resembles a human face. The face image was originally dismissed when it could not be found in a later scene. This was likely due to improper filing because our research found that second frame. The object is under continued observation and two trains of thought prevail: 1. It is a natural formation caused by weather and geological mechanisms present on Mars. 2. It is an unnatural formation caused by the mechanisms of unknown origin but provocative enough to warrant further investigation. We hope these pictures and data will re-kindle interest in exploration of the Universe. Mars is the only other planet within our solar system that holds a potential for man to terraform and colonize. Our human society should establish an extra-terrestrial seed while we still exist. If no major government will fund the necessary precursor missions, then the skills and materials should be gathered from the private sector. We attended all of "The Case for Mars" conferences, two at the University of Boulder, Colorado, in April and May of 1981, and in July of 1984, and in Washington, D.C. in July of 1986. This was the first step to focus the will to explore our brother planet. We must continue." - from the Preface.…

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
