Book Review: You Are Here: Around the World in 92 Minutes

You Are Here

Astronaut Chris Hadfield's compelling photo essay You Are Here: Around the World in 92 Minutes is about our home, our planet Earth, from a unique perspective. From Space. A collection of some of the most beautiful eye-popping imagery of Earth which he took and tweeted during his time aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as Commander of Expedition 35, the thought-provoking book offers a fascinating window to our planet in all its magnificent glory, be it natural or man-made, while also reiterating the simple fact that we are just a speck in the grand scheme of things that's the Universe. Though there isn't much in terms of written content, the gorgeous photographs speak volumes about the natural beauty of our planet and the urgent need to preserve it for our future generations, lest you want them to know about it as a series of picturesque snapshots, in which case You Are Here would be a fitting reminder!
