What reading level is Are the Planets Inhabited book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The " canals of Mars " are not mere figments of the imagination, but have a real ob- jective basis.
As this controversy has passed away, another and a very different one has arisen out of an un- fortunate mistranslation of the term chosen by Schiaparelli to indicate these linear streaks. In conformity with the type of nomenclature adopted by previous areographers who had divided Mars into "seas, " "continents, " "islands, " "isthmuses, " " straits " and the like, Schiaparelli had called the nar...row lines he detected " canali, " that is to say " channels, " but without intending to convey the idea of artificial construction. Indeed, he himself was careful to point out that these designations " were not intended to prejudge the nature of the spot, and were nothing but an artifice for helping the memory and for shortening de- scriptions. " And he added, "We speak in the same way of the lunar seas, although we well know that there are no true seas on the Moon. " But " canali " was unhappily rendered in English as " canals, " instead of " channels.
