Biographical note
Robert Edwards is the Head of Science at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, where he has worked for 16 years to promote modern astronomy to the general public in a uniquely historical context. He has a deep fascination for the history of the extra-terrestrial life debate and is a fan of period science fiction and popular science - particularly the Works of H.G. Wells.
This influential text is accompanied by a selection of short stories, articles and notices that inspired Wells before and during the writing of The War of the Worlds, offering insight into his views on Martian life. This is brought into contemporary focus as NASA launches its most extensive exploration programme of the Red Planet yet.
