Book Description

This book results from a workshop at the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern, Switzerland, where geochemists, geophysicists, and photogeologists have combined their expertise to constrain the timescales and geological processes in the evolution of Mars.In order to achieve this goal, the ages of cratered lunar surfaces, which are dated precisely by the radiometric ages of returned samples, have been taken as a reference for the inner solar system chronology. The derived ages of cratered geological units on Mars indicate ongoing geological activity from about 4.5 Gyr ago till modern geologic time. Ancient surfaces involve primordial crustal material with strong magnetization that has remained from Mars' core formation within the first 20 Myr of the solar system, whereas other surfaces were created during major geological processing at about 3-4.5 Gyr ago, probably associated with a denser atmosphere and more fluvial environment, and also to exposures of volcanism. The youngest surfaces indicate volcanism, weathering, gullying, exhumation, and modest water release all operating within the last few 100~Myr, with the youngest detected flows at less than 10 Myr ago. Neither Earth nor Moon offers such a complete geological record.This picture is consistent with radiometric age data of Martian meteorites which indicate that Mars has not only ancient crustal material, as represented in the ALH84001 meteorite, but at least some geologically young igneous rocks with ages of a few 100 Myr. Remote sensing of the Martian surface identifies two broad groups of igneous rock units, basaltic and andesitic, as is confirmed by in-situ chemical analyses at the Pathfinder landing site.Based on these results, the book contains an update on the overall stratigraphic system and geologic processes of the Martian surface, and a recent review on the newest models of the Martian interior structure and on the knowledge about the history of the Martian atmosphere and hydrosphere. ...

From the supplier: The Countryside March event in London on Mar 1, 1998, was reportedly Britain's biggest march ever with 280,000 participants representing all classes, backgrounds and financial brackets from all over the nation joining the event. The march was held to protest the ruling UK government's proposal to ban fox hunting, a proposal which was subsequently dropped. The event, however, has brought to focus the government's habit of ignoring the wishes of its electorate on nearly every significant subject since about the mid-1960s.

From the supplier: Authors M.D. Fort, R.M. Roberts and P.S. Domski question the utilization and appropriateness of the deconvolution analysis method suggested in the Ground Water publication article 'Using the Deconvolution Approach for Slug Test Analysis: Theory and Application.' Fort, Roberts and Domski appear to have used the wrong numerical calculation to describe zero wellbore storage cylindrical source with skin. Thus, their critique is based on an inappropriate model and therefore erroneous.

From the supplier: The Mars Society claims that today is a ripe time for any human exploration of the planet Mars. Enumerating the reasons behind the need to go to Mars, Mars Society believes that man must go to Mars for the knowledge of Mars and the Earth that will be derived from the experience, as well as for the challenge that such a journey would present.

Are Dreams a Reality?
Simply remarkable that these people can think up such outstanding ideas. If the ideas of these individuals are possible, then what are we waiting for? The book brings into account almost every consevable aspect and scenerio that a manned mission to Mars would encounter for. If only I had a few billion, a rocket, some plasma and twelve months to spare. I would be there, on Mars. This books is exceptional if you plan on working for a space organization and will be working on this mission. ... Read more

Tribute to the Dreamers
This book is a tribute to the dreamers who have imagined human flight to Mars, even when government bureaucracies lost interest.And even though this was written twenty years ago, the fact that so much of it is still valid -- and still unique -- shows how little we've advanced in that time.

The book was well received at the time. Here are some samples:

"A timely and valuable document" - Sir Bernard Lovell, Nature; "For the space buff, it is all here" -Science 83; "Those who exult in man's destiny in space, or delight in solving engineering problems, will find that Oberg's book provides ample fodder" -Kirkus Reviews; "A carefully reasoned, hardheaded look" - American Library Association BOOKLIST; "Well-presented arguments, supported by excellent research" -Astronomy; "A detailed and scientifically accurate scenario..., exciting and easy to read." - NASA's "Explorer's Guide to the Universe". "Oberg expounds this thesis with infectuous enthisiasm for the general reader." - ASTRONOMY AND ASTRONAUTICS. Featured on James A. Michener's "Space" TV mini-series, April 18, 1985, in the joint CBS & Library of Congress "Read More About It" spot, narrated by Michener at the end of the program; one of three books recommended.

The sections describing how busy the crew will be on the long voyage from Earth to Mars was particularly intriguing, since everyone always assumes they will be bored. And the discussions of options using the small moons of Mars, Deimos and Phobos, are also highly original.
