Bag om Mars and Its Canals (1911)

""Mars And Its Canals"" is a book written by Percival Lowell in 1911. The book is a detailed study of the planet Mars, its geography, and the possibility of life on the planet.

The book presents Lowell's observations and theories about the canals, their construction, and their purpose. The author also discusses the geological features of Mars, such as its craters, mountains, and valleys. Lowell's work was controversial at the time and sparked a debate among scientists about the existence of the canals and the possibility of life on Mars.
