Fun to read
Stranded! On Mars, no less.
Could anything go wrong on a space mission to Mars? Of course. What about the crew? Obviously, they'll all get along just fine. Just like we all do here on Earth. Or will they?
The book has action and suspense. And while some of what happens is extravagant by non-fiction standards, it is fine in a work of fiction. I certainly enjoyed it. Zubrin always ...

A tour de satire force
This wonderful book is a tour de force, in its startling accurate protrayel of the truth behind the conflict in the middle east. Here we are able to divest ourselves from the emotions sourounding the conflict by changing the names to protect the innocent and there bye we see how the conflict truly works. We see the truth behind the kinnewikans and how their 'brother' earthlings forced them into ...

Most Important Book
The vision that Robert Zubrin lays out in this book makes it the most important for anyone to read. Not only is it well written, Zubrin's ideas are outstanding and critical for our society to learn and embrace as we move quickly into the 21st century.

Mars on Earth (pb reprint)10 reviews
Robert Zubrin, 2004
A Must Read for anyone interested in Human Mars Exploration
This book was an engaging, entertaining read on Mars exploration that I couldn't put down, finishing the dense 339 pages in two nights of reading. It primarily describes the activities of the Mars Society (led by the book's author) in setting up and running manned habitats at various Mars analogue sites on Earth. The purpose of these habitats is to simulate living, working and exploring under ...

Entering Space: Creating a Spacefaring Civilization40 reviews
Robert Zubrin
Tarcher, 2000
A detailed technical manifesto
If you're like me, you've always felt that it would be pretty cool (and useful) to be able to travel through space like we currently jet around the globe. If that's the case, then you've probably also ran up against a huge wall of "who cares?" whenever you try to express your excitement about the possibilities inherent in space travel. This cogent, well-researched book will help you do two ...

Energy Victory: Winning the War on Terror by Breaking Free of Oil 49 reviews
Robert Zubrin
Prometheus Books, 2007
This is a serious book
A serious book calls for a serious review and I will try to provide that. Zubrin covers a lot of ground so I will take this by chapter. First, the author has a PhD in nuclear engineering so he knows the science. The first two chapters provide the rationale for his campaign to replace petroleum with methanol, and to a lesser degree ethanol. The book was written a year ago and the effects of food ...

Univelt, 1997
Are Dreams a Reality?
Simply remarkable that these people can think up such outstanding ideas. If the ideas of these individuals are possible, then what are we waiting for? The book brings into account almost every consevable aspect and scenerio that a manned mission to Mars would encounter for. If only I had a few billion, a rocket, some plasma and twelve months to spare. I would be there, on Mars. This books ...

Islands in the Sky: Bold New Ideas for Colonizing Space6 reviews
Wiley, 1996
a very mixed bag
I'm giving this five stars for the benefit of the chapters by Robert Zubrin and Martyn Fogg, which are ingenious and daringly original analyses of astronautic engineering and terraforming, respectively - each is the godfather of his field. The other material ranges from curiously quirky but not well-thought out (on terraforming Venus) to the kind of worthlessly unintelligent and uninteresting ...

Proceedings of the Foundation Convention of the Mars Society: Part 11 review
Univelt, 1999
WAVAR and other papers
This is a great book for getting up to speed on what other members of the Mars Society are doing. Papers, such as A.P.Grover et. al.'s work on the WAVAR reactor are quite enlightening.
