Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you that a popular book on astronomy written by myself (which is my second book on popular astronomy) has been published recently and is currently available at Amazon for purchase.
Title: Mars: a celestial show's topper
Summary: The theme of this book is a bit unique. It is not a book giving details about properties of Mars or missions to Mars or future prospects about Mars' colonization. Quite a good amount of information is available online and in print format about these topics. However, have you ever asked yourself looking at the night sky: "is there any single celestial object in the cosmos studying which humanity's knowledge about science and technology (and obviously astronomy) has progressed the most?" The answer is YES. That single celestial object is our neighbour planet Mars. My current popular book tells that exciting story about how by exploring only one single astronomical object, the red planet Mars, human knowledge about science, technology and the universe as a whole has developed and progressed over centuries. Amazingly, this thrilling story spans over two millennia, capturing the history of the development of human knowledge about science in a different style.
