To be published on Nov. 8, "Lakes on Mars" (edited by Nathalie Cabrol & Edmond Grin) is a book that may be of interest to many readers here. It has relevance to MSL, with an entire chapter devoted to Holden Crater. I assume Eberswalde is mentioned somewhere as well. Here's the Amazon.com link:

I'm very pleased to be able to say that my Mars book, The International Atlas of Mars Exploration (subtitle: The First Five Decades: 1953 to 2003) is now complete and ready to ship to the publisher.
The 'five decades' begin in 1953 with Wernher Von Braun's book The Mars Project, and end with Beagle 2. A second volume will go from MER to the end of Curiosity's primary mission, covering 2004-2014. Matt Golombek has very generously given me a foreword for the book, and several UMSF contributors have given me images as well. Olivier de Goursac has provided cover art (I should say that Cambridge will decide on the cover art as it's a major marketing decision, but I am proposing the use of one of two images by Olivier. I hope they will agree to the proposal.) Ted Stryk has let me use a variety of images he has processed, from Mars 3, Mars 4, Mars 5, Phobos 2 and Deep Space 1. Mike Malaska is letting me use a Mars Express VMC image mosaic. Thanks to all of you. Look for it next winter some time. Now, on to Volume 2! http://publish.uwo.ca/~pjstooke/marsatlas.htm Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

It looks very interesting, as well as very long time to wait (late 2012)

That kind of timeline is not unusual for a large fact-filled atlas like the ones Phil so masterfully creates. Even a fiction novel which requires very little fact-checking and has no images or graphics takes a minimum of six to eight months from completion to release.
Good luck Phil. I am looking forward to getting my copy. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Don't worry, Machi, you're going to be so busy producing more of those jaw-droppingly gorgeous images of the solar system's most spectacular places, when Phil's book comes out you'll wonder where the time has gone...
And my own congrats, Phil. I know how chuffed (and relieved!) I feel when I finish one of my kids books. These titles of yours are going to be magnificent I'm sure, well done. -------------------- |

I see that Phil Stooke's "International Atlas of Mars Exploration: Volume 1" is listed on Amazon.com (US), with a release date of August 31, 2012, much sooner than previously estimated. The link is:
http://www.amazon.com/The-International-At...6308&sr=1-1 It's an incredibly long link name, so if I've transcribed incorrectly, just go to www.amazon.com and type the book name into the search box. Phil, if you read this, can you tell us if August 31 is a placeholder date or the true target date of release? You know which answer we're all hoping for. |

You can always cut out the referral stuff at the end of the link... in that regard you might be giving click-though cash to the wrong folks.
