Mars as the Abode of Life

by Percival Lowell

""Mars As The Abode Of Life"" is a book written by Percival Lowell in 1908. The book discusses the possibility of life on Mars and presents Lowell's theories on the subject. Lowell was a prominent astronomer and mathematician who spent much of his career studying Mars. In this book, he argues that the planet's surface features, such as canals and polar caps, indicate the presence of an intelligent civilization. Lowell also discusses the possibility of microbial life on Mars and the potential for humans to one day colonize the planet. The book is a fascinating look at the early days of space exploration and the scientific theories that were being developed at the time. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of astronomy and the search for extraterrestrial life.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1908 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reviews

[Weston Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Phenomenal book, completely falls apart with a basic understanding of plate tectonics. 10/10

[Jake Cooper · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cool to see Lowell's arguments, like his inferred stages of planetary formation, but the dry prose can get long.

[David Seals · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent, and true.
