Nowadays, astronomical images can be viewed as digital form on your computer monitor so easily. However, there is a true difference between the perspectives you seen from the computer monitor compared to a high resolution print. Although I believed that I have seen many images obtained by the latest Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity, I am still amazed by the high quality prints presented in the book "Postcards From Mars".

Working as the lead scientist for the Pancam, Jim Bell shared with us some of the greatest images on the Gusev Crater and the Meridiani Planum processed by him. Many of these photos are astonishing, the vastness and emptiness of Mars can use no words to describe.

Besides the wonderful scenes, the story and scientific discoveries of the rovers are also well written by Jim. As a first person working in the Mars Exploration Rover mission, he told the background story of the planning and the implementation of the mission, how exciting are the blueberries found on the Meridiani Planum and show the wetter ancient Mars. His words are simple, concise and often wit, even beginner can easily understand.

If you would like to know more about Mars, space exploration or new developments in science, this book is definitely your choice.
