About this product

Details:. Condition: BRAND NEW. Format: Paperback. ISBN: 9781447278627. Publisher: Pan (Pan Macmillan). Age Range: Adult. Overview:. You Are Here: Around the World in 92 Minutes is astronaut Chris Hadfield's stunning photographic tour of planet Earth as seen from the International Space Station. Millions followed Hadfield's viral Twitter feed during his historic mission; now, in this beautifully produced paperback, he shares never-before-seen images alongside his own expert commentary. Blending science, geography and awe-inspiring visuals, this is a book for anyone who has ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what our world truly looks like from above.. About the Book:. Divided by continent, You Are Here follows the path of one idealised orbit of the International Space Station, taking readers on a 92-minute journey around the entire globe. Chris Hadfield selects his favourite photographs from thousands taken during his time in orbit, pairing each with insight drawn from his deep knowledge of geology, geography and meteorology. Where a casual glance might see only cloud, coastline or desert, Hadfield reveals ancient river deltas, hidden mountain ranges, city lights and the fragile line of atmosphere that protects us all. The result is a book that rewards close, repeated looking, with pages that at first appear abstract resolving into recognisable landmarks and human settlements once explained. Hadfield's warm, conversational voice makes complex science accessible, while his genuine wonder at the planet comes through on every page. It is at once a coffee-table book of extraordinary photography, a geography lesson, and a meditation on how fragile and interconnected our world truly is. Fans of his bestselling memoir will recognise the same curiosity, now turned outward onto Earth itself.. Never-before-seen photographs taken by Chris Hadfield aboard the International Space Station. Expert commentary combining geology, geography and meteorology. Structured as a real-time, continent-by-continent orbit of Earth. A stunning gift for space, science and photography enthusiasts.
