Reddit reviews The Geology of Mars

Good question. I did a search, since the only book I knew that answered the description was the "Atlas of Mars," from NASA and the US Government Printing Office, and that, while it is a very interesting collection of pictures, is not an in-depth textbook. (My copy was given to me by Sally Ride, so it's very out of date. I don't know if there is a newer edition.)

Not in any particular order:

(Edit: most recent book - Sedimentary Geology of Mars, Edited by: John P. Grotzinger and Ralph E. Milliken http://network-yes.blogspot.com/2012/10/sepm-announces-new-book-on-martian.html)

If you don't want to spend money, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_Mars and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geological_history_of_Mars (Edit: Wikipedia does not include the magnetic history of Mars. See http://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/B:SPAC.0000032719.40094.1d#page-1 , http://www.pnas.org/content/102/42/14970.short , http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0019103501966710 )

Finally, I found a web page that has photos of the covers of ~all the serious books on Mars published in the last 60 years. http://mars-literature.skynetblogs.be/
