Synopsis

Divided by continent, YOU ARE HERE represents one (idealized) orbit of the ISS. This planetary photo tour -- surprising, playful, thought-provoking, and visually delightful -- is also punctuated with fun, fascinating commentary on life in zero gravity. In the spirit of his bestselling An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, YOU ARE HERE opens a singular window on our planet, using remarkable photographs to illuminate 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.

About this title

Review:

One of Space.com's Best Space Photography Books

"Is there a person left on the internet who hasn't yet swooned over astronaut Chris Hadfield's jaw-dropping images from space? Here's a chance to have them in your home.... While we've seen plenty of NASA images of our planet, Hadfield's instantly feel more personal. These photos were taken by a curious human, not as part of a larger organizational mandate. Hadfield was capturing his photos not necessarily as a scientist, but more as a zero-gravity sightseer on behalf of all civilization." --Alissa Walker, Gizmodo

"You Are Here ... offers readers a magnificent photographic view of something very familiar: Earth."--Sarah Gray, Salon

"Awe-inspiring photos... Sprinkled among the pictures are Hadfield's fun factoids about life without gravity."--Parade

"A photographic exploration of the planet, a series of spectacular images snapped from the International Space Station."--David Martindale, Dallas Morning News

"Eye-opening and often whimsical."--John McMurtrie, Houston Chronicle

"A visually stunning tour of Earth.... Breathtaking photos."--CBS This Morning

"A stunning book of photos."--Alyssa Newcomb, ABC News

"Fun and fascinating."--David Martindale, Fort Worth Star-Telegram

"The photos are fascinating, and Hadfield's commentary is by turns insightful and playful, revealing deforestation on one page, and landforms that resemble ears on another. A sure hit for fans of photography, cartography, geography or space travel."--Wendy Sawatzky, Winnipeg Free Press
