X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Mars and its secrets have fascinated and m
 ystified humans since ancient times. Due to its vivid color and visibility
 \, geologic kinship with Earth\, and potential as our best hope for settle
 ment\, Mars embodies everything that inspires us about space and explorati
 on. For the Love of Mars surveys the red planet's place in the human imagi
 nation\, beginning with ancient astrologers and skywatchers and ending in 
 our present moment of exploration and virtual engagement.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;S
 hindell will highlight historical figures such as:&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Mayan as
 trologer priests who incorporated Mars into seasonal calendars and religio
 us ceremonies\;&nbsp\;<br />Babylonian astrologers who discerned bad omens
 \;&nbsp\;<br />figures of the Scientific Revolution who struggled to compr
 ehend it as a world\;&nbsp\;<br />Victorian astronomers who sought signs o
 f intelligent life\; and<br />20th- and 21st-century scientists who have e
 stablished a technological presence on its surface.&nbsp\;<br />Along the 
 way\, we will encounter writers and artists from each period who take read
 ers and viewers on imagined journeys to Mars.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;By focusing o
 n the diverse human stories behind the telescopes and behind the robots we
  know and love\, Shindell will show how Mars exploration has evolved in wa
 ys that have also expanded knowledge about other facets of the universe. R
