Product description

Review

[Her] style is at its most substantial--and most hilarious--in the zero-gravity realm that Packing for Mars explores.... As startling as it is funny.--Janet Maslin "The New York Times"

A delightful, illuminating grab bag of space-flight curiosities.-- "Kirkus Reviews"

An impish and adventurous writer with a gleefully inquisitive mind and stand-up comic's timing.-- "Booklist"

An utterly fascinating account, made all the more entertaining by the author's ever-amused tone.-- "BookPage"

Cool answers to questions about the void you didn't even know you had.-- "People"

Hilarious.-- "The New York Times Book Review"

This is the kind of smart, smirky stuff that Roach does so well.--Geoff Nicholson "San Francisco Chronicle"

The author's writing comes across as reportorial, but with a clear sense of humor; even the footnotes are used to both informational and comedic effect.--Time Out New York

About the Author

Mary Roach is the author of five best-selling works of nonfiction, including Grunt, Stiff, and, most recently, Fuzz. Her writing has appeared in National Geographic and the New York Times Magazine, among other publications. She lives in Oakland, California.
