	Mars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Mars has only a quarter the surface area of Earth and only 1/10th the mass (though because it lacks oceans the area of Mars's accessible dry land is approximately equal to that of the Earth's dry land).
		Mars is much smaller than Earth, but recent research shows that it once had flowing rivers.
		Since Mars and the sun appear on opposite sides of the sky, we say that Mars is in "opposition." If Earth and Mars followed perfectly circular orbits, opposition would be as close as the two planets could get.

	An Anthropologist on Mars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An Anthropologist on Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales is a 1995 book by neurologist Oliver Sacks consisting of seven medical case histories of individuals with neurological conditions such as autism and Tourette syndrome.
		In addition, Sacks studies his patients outside the hospital, often traveling considerable distances to interact with his subjects in their own environments.
		"An Anthropologist on Mars" describes Sacks' meeting with Temple Grandin, an autistic woman who is a world-renowned designer of humane livestock facilities and a professor at Colorado State University.

	Robert Evans (astronomer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During that time, he found four supernovae; three had already been discovered by others, the fourth was SN 2005df, which was Evan's third supernova discovery in NGC 1559 (after SN 1984J and SN 1986L) and his 40th visual discovery.
		In his book An Anthropologist on Mars, Oliver Sacks called Evans a savant for his uncanny ability: He has memorized the starfield foregrounds and positions of around 1500 galaxies and can detect changes simply by looking at them through his telescope.
		In an interview, Evans reported that he was able "to observe 50 galaxies an hour when they were scattered around the sky, and 120 galaxies an hour in Virgo." Only in the 1990s have automated telescopes come into use which offered a comparable speed – like the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope.

	Rare high-altitude clouds found on Mars
		Thanks to data from the SPICAM Ultraviolet and Infrared Atmospheric Spectrometer onboard Mars Express, a fleeting layer of clouds have been discovered at an altitude between 80 and 100 kilometres.
		They are either microscopic chippings from the rocks on the surface on Mars that have been blown to extreme altitudes by the winds, or they are the debris from meteors that have burnt up in the Martian atmosphere.
		The new high-altitude cloud layer has implications for landing on Mars as it suggests the upper layers of Mars' atmosphere can be denser than previously thought.

		In her own words, she's an "anthropologist from Mars".
		In anyone's language, this differently abled anthropologist from Mars is probably America's - and indeed academia's - best-known autistic person.
		Later in the Nashville day, she will have a hall full of visiting journalists, along with geneticists, epidemiologists, paediatricians, toxicologists and neuroscientists, eating out of the palm of her hand during an insightful, sometimes hilarious, half-hour address.

		Known as an anthropologist of the human mind and spirit, he has written more than 30 books, including "The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat," in which he describes patients struggling to live with conditions ranging from Tourette's Syndrome to Alzheimer's disease.
		In another of his books, "An Anthropologist on Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales," Sacks offers portraits of neurological patients and describes the beauties and virtues he sees in their impairments.

	[No title]
		In his preface to An Anthropologist on Mars—a wonderful collection of narratives on individuals with a wide range of neurological conditions—neurologist and author, Oliver Sacks, describes how the brain's plasticity, its enormous capacity for adaptation, predominates his view of his patients.
		Although each of the book's seven portraits is self-contained (and can therefore be read as an individual story), the book as a whole is remarkably unified not only by Sacks' interest in the brain's adaptive nature, but by his humane approach to his subjects, one that consistently privileges the individual over any condition or disorder.
		The concept of having no theory of mind, and the lived manifestations of lacking a theory of mind are powerfully juxtaposed with Grandin's self-described experiences of being unable to interpret social signals, of feeling mystified by the intuitive codes and conventions, the cultural assumptions that allow most people to connect with "unthinking ease".

		The external gate to the interior self is, apparently, blocked off, yet Wiltshire is able to draw, at age seven, without training, more mature reproductions of various scenes after momentarily glancing at them, immediately apprehending then imitating various styles.
		Finally, Sacks visits the well-known autistic, Dr. Temple Grandin, who finds the interplay, intricacies and subtleties of human interaction totally incomprehensible (she feels, when it comes to human communication and its cultural contextualizations, like "an anthropologist on Mars"), but is able to understand animals (especially bovines) on a powerfully emotive level.
		The clinical and "objective" ethos of more traditional medical and behavioral science is mercifully absent in his presentation, allowing rather for the dignity and humanity of his subjects, even when sadly and tragically impacted behaviorally and psychologically by their disorders, to be meaningfully affirmed.
