""Mars"" is a book written by Percival Lowell, an American astronomer, in 1895. The book is a comprehensive study of the planet Mars, covering topics such as its physical features, climate, and potential for life. Lowell was one of the first astronomers to observe Mars through a telescope and he believed that the planet had canals built by intelligent beings. In the book, Lowell presents his theories on the canals and argues that they were created by a highly advanced civilization. He also discusses the possibility of life on Mars and the potential for humans to eventually colonize the planet. The book is a fascinating look at the early scientific study of Mars and the imaginative theories that were proposed about the planet in the late 19th century. It provides a glimpse into the scientific thinking of the time and the excitement surrounding the possibility of discovering life on other planets.Description of canals and oases of Mars by astronomer Perceval Lowell, placed here because, hey, at least he meant well.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
