The greening of Mars

The greening of Mars by Michael Allaby. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780312350246.

"You are about to go on a wondrous journey, into a future firmly based on the technology we now possess, to a world where people not only survive but thrive on the Red Planet. Emphatically not science fiction but written as though it were real history by a second-generation Martian colonist, here is the detailed, fascinating story of how the colonization of Mars began... and what everyday life on Mars would be like. A new race of genetically different vegetarian people, great hydrogen-filled airships for transportation, a society with no money and free food and housing, and a cold, oxygen-poor planet transformed into a thoroughly habitable home... The Greening of Mars shows you how it may come about sooner than you think!"
