5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book About Mars and its Place in the Popular Culture, November 7, 2005

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dying Planet: Mars in Science and the Imagination (Paperback)
This is a rather dense book about Mars and its place in the popular culture. A great deal of space is spent on Mars related movies.

This book shows that the claims of Percival Lowell regarding Mars as a dying planet still heavily influenced scientists about Mars even into the present day. Scientists wanted to believe in water and plant life on Mars even after scientific evidence showed that was extremely unlikely.

Despite its denseness, this is an important and insightful book about Mars.
