QUESTION: Where could I get more information about adapting life to Mars? ANSWER from Bruce Jakosky on November 23, 1999: There are a number of excellent books that have appearred lately that deal with the possibility of life in extreme environments or life in the universe. You might try one or more of the following: LIFE ON THE EDGE by Gross SEARCH FOR LIFE ON MARS by Walter CRADLE OF LIFE by Schopf or, at the risk of sounding self promoting, THE SEARCH FOR LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS by Jakosky Each of these discusses in its own way how organisms can survive in environments that might occur on Mars.
