First edition first print hardback of YOU ARE HERE: Around the World in 92 Minutes by Chris Hadfield and published by Macmillan in 2014. Signed by Hadfield on the title page. Full numberline is 1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2 indicating that the book is a first printing.
The book is in very good- condition (pictorial boards) and would be near fine but for a little moisture staining to the top page edges which has caused some pages to become stuck together along the top and when separated have caused some very minor damage, as shown in a couple of the pictures. No page content is significantly affected as the damage is only along the top edges of some pages. The book is in a near fine unclipped dust jacket which has light creasing to the edges. Internally the pages are otherwise clean and tight and there are no tears or other inscriptions.
A visually stunning tour of Earth from the astronaut whose photographs - taken from the International Space Station - made us fall in love with our planet all over again . . .
In You Are Here, bestselling author and celebrated astronaut Chris Hadfield creates a virtual orbit of Earth, giving us the really big picture: this is our home, from space. The millions of us who followed Hadfield's news-making Twitter feed from the ISS 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. This planetary photo tour - surprising, playful, thought-provoking and visually delightful - provides a breathtakingly beautiful perspective on the wonders of the world. You Are Here opens a singular window on our planet, using remarkable photographs to illuminate the history and consequences of human settlement, the magnificence of newly uncovered landscapes, and the power of the natural forces shaping our world and the future of our species.
