Sinossi

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.
