The Sands of Mars by Arthur C. Clarke:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

an invention:
Oxygen Weeds Plants that create oxygen on a planet with little breathable air.

Space Station One Describes an early space station similar to the International Space Station, that grew over time by accretion.
