Mapping Mars: Science, Imagination, and the Birth of a World by Oliver Morton

xenobio's review against another edition

5.0

I highly recommend reading this in tandem with Kim Stanley Robinson's fictional "Mars Trilogy" because it will help you understand the scientific journey behind our knowledge of Mars that helped Robinson create such an engaging human landscape of a currently-fictional world (I don't mean that Mars is fictional of course, but that Mars _as a human-settled world_ is).
