The Encyclopedia of Mars is planned as the first definitive general reference work to address all major aspects of Mars: the science concerning the planet, physical features of the planet, exploration of it by humans, the planet's appearances in mythology and folklore through the ages, and modern treatments of the Red Planet in popular culture, literature and media.

The editors, Howard and Laurel Hendrix at California State University's Department of English, are looking for contributors.

The Encyclopedia of Mars will feature more than 600 entries. Roughly forty percent of these entries will emphasize scientific topics and sixty percent will emphasize cultural topics. Popular culture entries will examine the history of Mars on film, on radio, on TV, and in more recent electronic media. Entries will also examine the greatest possible range of global scientific, historical, Western and Non-Western mythological, genre and literary fiction materials concerning Mars. TEoM will also present biographical entries for those scientists, authors, and filmmakers who have made substantial contributions to our evolving understanding of Mars.

Each entry will run 300 to 3,000 words. All entries will be signed by the writers, academics, scientists, and other experts who write them. Each essay begins with a category subhead (Mythology, Film, Literature), followed by the definition of the topic and the larger cultural and/or scientific significance of the topic.

Book to be published by McFarland Press in 2016.
