By Stephen E. Strom,Bradford A. Smith
Earth and Mars is a fusion of artwork and technology, a mix of pictures and essays celebrating the profitable production of our life-sustaining planet and the sweetness and secret of Mars. via photographs of terrestrial landscapes and images chosen from fresh NASA and eu house organisation missions to Mars, Earth and Mars unearths the profound attractiveness due to the motion of volcanism, wind, and water. The accompanying textual content offers a context for appreciating the position of those elemental forces in shaping the surfaces of every planet, in addition to the divergent evolutionary paths that resulted in an Earth that's teeming with lifestyles, and Mars that's doubtless lifeless.
Earth and Mars conjures up mirrored image at the terribly smooth stability of forces that has ended in our success: to be alive and sentient on a bountiful blue world.

Within the age of MapQuest and GPS, we take cartographic literacy without any consideration. we must always now not; the power to discover which means in maps is the fruit of an extended means of publicity and guideline. A "carto-coded" America--a kingdom within which maps are pervasive and meaningful--had to be created. The Social lifetime of Maps tracks American cartography's surprising upward push to its unheard of cultural impact.
