Book Una ciutat a Mart (in català)
Humans are curious animals. The desire to know and the search for new resources have led us to climb mountains, to conquer the poles or to grow immense seas. This tireless quest has taken us into space. Beyond, the final frontier awaits us: Mars.
Science, technology and imagination accompany us on a spectacular journey to discover the Red Planet and find out what life would be like for its first inhabitants. Mart offers us the opportunity to start from scratch. Ready for the launch? An album written by experts in the field.
