Mars: Our Future on the Red Planet by Leonard David

4.0

As one might expect of something from National Geographic, this book is chock full of beautiful pictures supplemented by fact-rich text. Although putatively tied to the NatGeo Channel's "Mars" TV show, the book stands completely on its own. Its contents are quite up-to-the-minute current. Perhaps its weakest spots are where it tries to look into the far future. My favorite sections are its "Heroes": single-page bio/backgrounders that celebrate the work of those who have helped and are helping us reach for Mars.
