Reviews'Mars has now been mapped in detail based on spacecraft data, resulting in the remarkable publication of The Atlas of Mars at a 1:10,000,000 scale.' Steven J. Dick, Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage, 'In The Atlas of Mars, Coles, Tanaka, and Christensen take us on a comprehensive, informative, and up-to-date tour of the geography and geology of the Red Planet. Focusing on the critical role of impact, volcanic, tectonic, and erosional processes on shaping the history and evolution of Mars, these expert authors do an outstanding job of proving the value of fusing results from the wide variety of remote sensing measurements of Mars from flybys, orbiters, and surface landers/rovers. The Atlas of Mars is an important reference for students and professional planetary scientists as well as an educational and richly illustrated book that many general space enthusiasts will surely enjoy.' Jim Bell, Planetary scientist, author, and editor of The Martian Surface: Composition, Mineralogy, and Physical Properties, '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

SynopsisPlanetary scientist and educator Ken Coles has teamed up with Ken Tanaka from the United States Geological Survey's Astrogeology team, and Phil Christensen, Principal Investigator of the Mars Odyssey orbiter's THEMIS science team, to produce this all-purpose reference atlas, The Atlas of Mars. Each of the thirty standard charts includes: a full-page color topographic map at 1:10,000,000 scale, a THEMIS daytime infrared map at the same scale with features labeled, a simplified geologic map of the corresponding area, and a section describing prominent features of interest. The Atlas is rounded out with extensive material on Mars' global characteristics, regional geography and geology, a glossary of terms, and an indexed gazetteer of up-to-date Martian feature names and nomenclature. This is an essential guide for a broad readership of academics, students, amateur astronomers, and space enthusiasts, replacing the NASA atlas from the 1970s., An all-purpose reference featuring full-page base maps using THEMIS data, color topographic maps and highlights that show close-ups of prominent features. The Atlas also includes extensive material on Mars' global characteristics, regional geography and geology glossary and an indexed gazetteer of up-to-date Martian feature names and nomenclature.
