The groundbreaking 2004 Mars Exploration Rover Mission of "little" rovers Spirit and Opportunity provided evidence for the possibility of water on Mars. Principal scientist Steve Squyres's reflections frame Rusch's account, which skillfully captures the exciting quest for knowledge. Compelling images of Mars, Squyres's team, and landscapes superimposed with photos of rovers also convey this engineering accomplishment's significance. Websites. Bib., glos., ind.
