Haynes Mars Owners' Workshop Manual: From 4.5 Billion Years Ago to the Present
by David M. Harland
The unique Haynes insight into Mars, providing a sister title to Earth Manual and Moon Manual. The recent Ridley Scott/Matt Damon film "The Martian," the discovery of water (ice) on the planet's surface and NASA's plans for manned Mars exploration have all made Mars cool again. Haynes applies its unique manual treatment to take a new look at the Red Planet.

What an excellent book on the planet Mars! It covers the history of the study of the planet from the observations of Kepler through the space age.

All of the missions to Mars are also covered including the unsuccessful ones such as Beagle 2 and the Polar Lander. There are also chapters covering future missions as well as Mars in science fiction. Being a David M Harland book, it is also richly populated with photographs and charts that supplement the writing.

This is an excellent book for students wishing to learn more about Mars as well as a great volume for the space enthusiast to add to their library. I recommend this book whole-heartily!
