In You Are Here, celebrated astronaut Chris Hadfield gives us the
really big picture: this is our home, as seen from space. The
millions of us who followed Hadfield's news-making Twitter feed
from the International Space Station thought we knew what we were
looking at when we first saw his photos. But we may have caught the
beauty and missed the full meaning. Now, through photographs - many
of which have never been shared - Hadfield unveils a fresh and
insightful look at our planet. He sees astonishing detail and
importance in these images, not just because he's spent months in
space but because his in-depth knowledge of geology, geography and
meteorology allows him to reveal the photos' mysteries. Featuring
Hadfield's favourite images, You Are Here is divided by continent
and represents one (idealized) orbit of the ISS. Surprising,
thought-provoking and visually delightful, it opens a singular
window on our planet, using remarkable photographs to illuminate
the history and consequences of human settlement, the magnificence
of never-before-noticed landscapes, and the power of the natural
forces shaping our world and the future of our species.
