Summary:
"A surprisingly intimate and compelling visual essay about the planet we live on, choosing the best from the thousands of
photos
Chris Hadfield took on the
International
Space
Station
, showing us our home -- our city, country, continent, our whole planet -- from a unique perspective. These
photos
reveal why our planet looks the way it does and why we live where we do. Chris sees more in these images than we do, not just because he's spent months in
space
but because his in-depth knowledge of geology, geography and meteorology allows him to read the mysteries the
photos
reveal. Divided by continent, the
photos
represent one (idealized) orbit of the ISS. This planetary photo tour -- surprising, playful, thought-provoking and visually delightful -- is punctuated with commentary on life in zero gravity. In the spirit of his book An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, this collection of photographs open a singular window on our planet, illuminating the history and consequences of human settlement, the magnificence (and wit) of never-before-noticed landscapes, and the power of the natural forces shaping our
world
and the future of our species. In March 2013, Chris Hadfield became the first Canadian Commander of the
International
Space
Station
where, while conducting a record-setting number of scientific experiments and overseeing an emergency spacewalk, he gained worldwide acclaim for his breathtaking photographs and educational videos about life in
space
. His YouTube music video, a zero-gravity version of David Bowie's "
Space
Oddity," has received millions of views"--Provided by publisher.
