  abstract =	 {From the charismatic scientist and leader of the
                  Mars Exploration Rover mission, a riveting,
                  behind-the-scenes account of the search for life on
                  Mars. Steve Squyres is the face and voice of NASA's
                  Mars Exploration Rover mission. Squyres dreamed up
                  the mission in 1987, saw it through from conception
                  in 1995 to a successful landing in 2004, and serves
                  as the principal scientist of its \$400 million
                  payload. He has gained a rare inside look at what it
                  took for rovers Spirit and Opportunity to land on
                  the red planet in January 2004 - and knows
                  first-hand their findings. Combining the journey of
                  a young scientist with the history of NASA's Mars
                  space program, Roving Mars offers a dramatic account
                  of one of the most amazing adventures of our
                  time. In an incredibly conversational and compelling
                  voice, Squyres manages to go into detail about how
                  the MER mission was born, covering the politics,
                  mistakes, and confusion that ensued. He doesn't shy
                  away from the technical aspects of the mission, but
                  presents them in a way that is accessible to the
                  most unscientifically minded among us. Squyres leads
                  us through the exhausting and exhilarating race to
                  get the rovers to the launch pad in time - and
                  finally, the amazing story of Spirit's and
                  Opportunity's journeys to Mars and what is found
                  there. Steve Squyres is the scientist and principal
                  investigator behind the Mars Exploration Program. He
                  has appeared in the national media worldwide on
                  behalf of the program. Squyres has participated in a
                  number of planetary spaceflight missions. From 1978
                  to 1981, he was an associate of the Voyager imaging
                  science team, participating in analysis of imaging
                  data from the encounters with Jupiter and Saturn. He
                  was a radar investigator on the Magellan mission to
                  Venus, a member of the Mars Observer gamma-ray
                  spectrometer flight investigation team, and a
                  co-investigator on the Russian Mars 1996 mission. He
                  lives in Ithaca, New York.},
