Review
“A must-have resource for anyone wishing to explore the fourth planet from the Sun.” ― Sky Arte
“Works of art created by nature, photos from the red planet in Mars. Photographs from the NASA Archives: a compilation of impressive images – to revel in and discover.” ― Kulturzeit, 3sat
“As you have never seen Mars before: A new illustrated book brings together images from six decades of Mars exploration. On 340 pages, Mars combines a wealth of spectacular images of the planet.” ― GEO
“Mars is clearly the best planet, a red fire in the night sky. Here it is fabulously revealed.” ― Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
“This new book celebrates the missions that have enriched our understanding of Mars and looks to a future where humans explore the Red Planet.” ― New Scientist
“Mars must be the most imagined, most described, but never visited landscape in the universe. It holds onto its secrets stubbornly remaining almost within our grasp but tantalizingly out of reach. And still, it continues to draw our attention, an object of lifelong fascination leading some onto explore. More than that: to hope and to dream for reasons that are as ancient as the landscapes themselves.” ― BBC
“Mars is the best planet because Mars is a mirror. We look to it and we see ourselves―our past and possibility, and, with some imagination, our future.” ― The Atlantic

The closest I'll get to visiting Mars
This book is a visual journey and it's perfect for anyone fascinated by Mars. The photos are absolutely stunning, some even unfolding into double-page spreads. It covers everything from early space missions to how Mars has influenced movies, books, and pop culture. The mix of science and creativity really works, and the trilingual format (English, German, French) is a nice bonus. It’s a heavy, beautifully made book that you’ll want to keep out on the table. If you're even slightly into space, this is 100% worth it!
Multilingual book. Why?
This book has fantastic photos from Mars. I really appreciated the many pictures from the Viking mission. But why making the book multilingual? It ruins a lot. My German is poor and my French is non existing. Those chapters are lost to me.Also, Bolo's packing skills can be improved. The first book came very poorly packed and hence damaged. The return process was great but will I buy more large books like this from Bolo again? I doubt it.
