      2014., Adult, Random House Canada Call No: 910.22 H129y    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "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.
