	Barsoom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Barsoom is a fictional version of the planet Mars invented by author Edgar Rice Burroughs for a series of action adventure stories.
		While Burroughs' Barsoom tales never aspired to being anything other than exciting escapism, his vision of Mars was loosely inspired by astronomical speculation of the time, especially that of Percival Lowell, that pictured the planet as a formerly Earthlike world now becoming less hospitable to life.
		Some of these are effectively lost cities, permitting Burroughs to utilize Barsoom as a stage for the same kind of lost race yarns he favored in earthly settings.

		Barsoom's seeming prosperity, despite the withering of the oceans, would be the planet literally eating its seed corn, a one way process.
		On Barsoom, it first hit the Green Men of the Highlands, then devastated the Okars of the north, moved south to disrupt the First Born and Orovars of the lowlands and coasts, and then crossed the equator to finally destroy the Orovars of Hellas.
		The sea of Torquas in the Hellas basin was the deepest on Barsoom, and surrounded by highlands.

	ERBzine 1404: H. G. Wells' Barsoom! by Den Valdron
		Besides, on Barsoom, the Valles Marinis is well established as being the site of the Toonolian Marshes for over half its length, and as identified broken canyons and forest areas for the balance, the whole area being well colonized by red man city states, so there’s no room for Wells' Martians there.
		This area is in a largely unexplored portion of Barsoom, the impenetrable and barren Tharsis highland acts as a barrier to exploration from the east, and the western cliffs would also act to conceal it.
		As Barsoom began its long decline, and the seas vanished, it appears that the big heads and flyers left the shadow of Tharsis, whose environment had begun to deteriorate, and moved to a sheltered valley adjacent one of the former seas.

		The Dream Park company is attempting to generate financial interest in a real Barsoom Project, a real Mars expedition.
		There is no other significant use made of her character that couldn't have been more conveniently supplied by one of the other protagonists or not supplied at all if Niven and Barnes had more wisely decided not to write this awful book.
		And it should not be entitled "The Barsoom Project".

		The wanderer is of course Carthoris, beloved only son of John Carter, warlord of Mars (bar-SOOM), and his incomparable princess, the raven-haired, red-skinned, habitually nude Dejah Thoris—all three starring in the 11-book Barsoom series of Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875—1950), for which see Barsoom; and for the next installment, Barsoom.
		Both types go naked except for ornaments and weapons harness; "no male or female Martian is ever voluntarily without a weapon of destruction." Zoons is an archaic spelling and pronounciation of the already archaic "zounds," appropriate to a distant, dying world of cape-and-sword romance.
