The Life and Death
of
Planet Earth:
How the New Science of Astrobiology Charts the Ultimate Fate
of Our World
Peter D. Ward & Donald Brownlee - 2003
Amazon: US
UK
"Authors of the best-selling
Rare Earth, Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee, have released
a new book on the fascinating science of astrobiology, the
study of a planet's life cycle. The Life and Death of Planet
Earth discusses the latest findings about the histories of
planets and applies this knowledge to the earth. Including
what scientists know about the earth's geological and biological
past present and future, Brownlee and Ward describe a colorful
and often shocking series of changes our earth will undergo
in the coming millennia until it's inevitable end." -

Mapping
Mars
Oliver Morton - 2002
Amazon:
US
UK
"As Oliver Morton shows in his superb
new book, Mapping Mars, Mars has clouds, winds, and shorelines.
It has river valleys, mountains, volcanoes, and even glaciers.
Even were it lifeless, it could support life, albeit of an
almost unimaginably marginal kind."
"What Mars lacks is places. There are
no 'theres' there, nor will there be--until our feet make
an impact on its soil. Oliver Morton has a sense of place
and a hunger for Mars, and a thrilling manner of communicating
both. His account of our nearest neighbor's history, geology,
and human potential is exhaustive. Morton touches on just
about everything, from soil composition to survival techniques;
from Martians to maps (maps, above all: they are his abiding
subject, metaphor, and organizing principle). His artistry
is to hide his daunting range of interests under a passionate
and gripping human narrative: this book is about what Mars
has meant, means, and may one day mean for us. And he has
a wide-ranging definition of who 'we' are..." - Amazon
