Recenzje

'For those interested in the geography and geology of the planet Mars, this Atlas is a must have. It is a valuable resource for anyone craving in-depth terrestrial data and more stunning landscape imagery from the red planet. Not since NASA's 1979 Atlas of Mars, a collection of maps by the US Geological Survey, has there been such a well-organised, comprehensive, up-to-date overview of our current understanding of the Martian surface.' Jon W. Elvert, Planetarian
