Fascinating! The information about extreme environments on Earth and their similarities to Mars was very interesting, as were the photos. I also liked the variety of resources provided at the end of the book.
Loved it! Accessible and interesting with lots of resources and incedible images. I appreciate the author sharing how she came to the topic of astrobiology.
