eBook
Finding Mars
2011
Overview
Finding Mars is an interwoven tale of science, travel, and
adventure, as science writer Ned Rozell accompanies permafrost
researcher-and inveterate wanderer-Kenji Yoshikawa on a 750-mile
trek by snowmobile through the Alaska wilderness. Along the way,
Rozell learns about Yoshikawa's fascinating life, from his boyhood
in Tokyo to the youthful wanderlust that led him to push a wheeled
cart across the Sahara, ski to the South Pole, and take a sailboat
into the frozen reaches of the Arctic Ocean, spending a winter
frozen in the ice near Barrow. It's an always on-the-move account
of a man driven not just by the desire to fill in the blank spots
on a map, but also to learn everything he can about them-and a
ringing testament to the power of science, enthusiasm, and
individual inspiration.
