Description
The Sirens of Mars: Searching for Life on Another World
A beautifully written exploration of our centuries-old obsession with Mars, tracing the evocative history of our explorations of the Red Planet. From Galileo to Carl Sagan, Sarah Stewart Johnson weaves a personal journey as a scientist with tales of other seekers who have scoured this enigmatic planet for signs of life.
This book is also a story about Earth: it is a foil, a mirror, a tell-tale reflection of our own anxieties and yearnings to find - if we're lucky - that we're not alone. With poetic precision and grace, Johnson shows how the story of Mars is intertwined with our own.
