Rebecca ，

Apparently I am not as interested in Mars as I thought。 I am afraid I got bored with this and didn’t finish。 It might have been more interesting if it were more about Mars and less about the author’s experiences as a scientist and geologist; It was more biography than about Mars， though I will admit I did not get very far。

Be ready for a lot of rocks if you pick this up。A geologist's examination of Mars through the history of its exploration， this book also becomes a primer on geology。 Or maybe a graduate level course。 I really don't know since I've not gone past general high school Earth Science。 Crumpler attempts to interweave the science and technology of Mars exploration in an accessible way， which he mostly accomplished。 Technical language abounds， but he attempts to explain it in down-to-earth ways （see what Be ready for a lot of rocks if you pick this up。A geologist's examination of Mars through the history of its exploration， this book also becomes a primer on geology。 Or maybe a graduate level course。 I really don't know since I've not gone past general high school Earth Science。 Crumpler attempts to interweave the science and technology of Mars exploration in an accessible way， which he mostly accomplished。 Technical language abounds， but he attempts to explain it in down-to-earth ways （see what I did there？）。 I've never been obsessed with the Red Planet or space exploration， so I'm probably not the primary audience。 There were enough broad considerations， though， to make it worth getting through。 He makes Mars playful by connecting it with a trickster tradition， tying in literary quotes throughout。 The part I was looking most forward to was the possibilities of people traveling to Mars， and he gets to this toward the end。 It is reasonably satisfying to a lay audience， but there are a lot of technical details that I glossed over entirely。 。。。more
