The book, The Martian: Classroom Edition ISBN# 9780804189354 in Paperback by Andy Weir may be ordered in bulk quantities. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him? In addition to the elimination of four-letter words that appear in the original (here replaced with classroom-appropriate alternatives), the Classroom Edition includes discussion questions and activities as well as a Q&A with author Andy Weir. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills-and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit-he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive-and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.
