You’ve been selected to be part of the Mars One crew! You’ll be one of the first people to visit Mars!
How do you plan? Train? What will you use for reference?
“The Mars One Crew Manual” is what you need!
Set up as a training manual for a Mars One crew member, this book posits the information necessary for the first manned mission to Mars. Filled with photographs, illustrations, diagrams, maps, and charts, there’s also a fold-out topographic map of the surface of the red planet.
Beginning with a History of Mars One to Living, the manual goes on to discuss Working in Space and describes the actual trip to Mars. Then it outlines the activities that will take place on Mars, the return to Earth, and the Systems and Maintenance of the Mars One cluster.
Also included: a section on Mars Science Reference, general characteristics of the red planet, a summary of the earlier unmanned missions, acronyms and abbreviations, and a glossary.
Although a bit dated [1985], readers with an interest in interplanetary exploration, a Mars mission, or space science will find much to appreciate here; the planning for a mission to Mars makes for very interesting reading.

Wonderful approach to a NASA guide for a manned mission to Mars. Only problem is that is is now very dated.
