Reviews
"Hadfield proves himself to be not only a fierce explorer of the universe, but also a deeply thoughtful explorer of the human condition, capable of articulating those most universal of inquiries in simple yet profound language.... The book itself is absolutely spectacular."-- Brain Pickings, "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, The photos "offer fascinatingly unfamiliar perspectives on Venice, the Sahara desert, Australia's sparsely populated interior, and the oil and gas sites of New Mexico." -- Henry Hitchings, Wall Street Journal, " 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, "Chris Hadfield sorted through his thousands of snaps from 2,500 trips around the Earth and, with an unending sense of wonder, brings you the best." -- Adele Peters, Fast Company, "A photographic exploration of the planet, a series of spectacular images snapped from the International Space Station." -- David Martindale, Dallas Morning News, "A photographic exploration of the planet, a series of spectacular images snapped from the International Space Station."-- David Martindale, Dallas Morning News, "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, "Is there a person left on the internet who hasn't yet swooned over astronaut Chris Hadfield's jaw-dropping images from space?

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."-- Alan Petrucelli, Examiner.com, "Chris Hadfield sorted through his thousands of snaps from 2,500 trips around the Earth and, with an unending sense of wonder, brings you the best."-- Adele Peters, Fast Company, Praise for Col. Chris Hadfield and An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth: "A very human glance into a rarified world.... The vacuum of space is unforgiving and brutal. Life on earth isn't easy, either. Mr. Hadfield has genuinely and refreshingly increased our understanding of how to thrive in both places."-- Wall Street Journal, "The book is incredibly well designed, with a visually interesting mix of typography and layouts....It is sure to capture the attention of adults and kids, and evoke a sense of wonder about our beautiful but slightly banged up rock we call home."-- Ariane Coffin, GeekMom, "Hadfield is a genius, a man of science and technology and no first-timer to the universe."-- New York Post, "Awe-inspiring photos... Sprinkled among the pictures are Hadfield's fun factoids about life without gravity." -- Parade, "The book is incredibly well designed, with a visually interesting mix of typography and layouts....It is sure to capture the attention of adults and kids, and evoke a sense of wonder about our beautiful but slightly banged up rock we call home." -- Ariane Coffin, GeekMom
