In You Are Here, astronaut Chris Hadfield creates a surprisingly intimate and compelling visual essay about the planet we live on, choosing the best from the thousands of photos he took on the International Space Station.
Chris Hadfield's new book shows us our home--our city, country, continent, our whole planet--from a unique perspective. The millions of us who followed Chris's Twitter feed from the ISS thought we knew what we were looking at when we saw his photos. This photo documentary shows us we didn't. We caught the beauty but missed the meaning. Curated from images never before shared, Chris's big picture reveals 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, You Are Here represents one (idealized) orbit of the ISS. This planetary photo tour--surprising, playful, thought-provoking and visually delightful--is punctuated with fun, fascinating commentary on life in zero gravity, too. In the spirit of his #1 bestselling An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, You Are Here opens a singular window on our planet, using remarkable photographs to illuminate 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.

CHRIS HADFIELD, one of the world's most seasoned and accomplished astronauts, is the author of the #1 international bestseller, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth. The top graduate of the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School in 1988 and U.S. Navy test pilot of the year in 1991, Hadfield was selected by the Canadian Space Agency to be an astronaut in 1992. He was CAPCOM for 25 Shuttle launches and served as Director of NASA Operations in Star City, Russia, from 2001-2003, Chief of Robotics for the NASA Astronaut Office in Houston from 2003-2006, and Chief of International Space Station Operations from 2006-2008. Hadfield most recently served as 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 music video, a zero-gravity version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity," received over 10 million views in its first three days online. His TED talk, delivered in March 2014, drew more than a million views in its first three weeks.

Quality varies - beware

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2014

FOLLOW-UP (1/26/15): I went to B&N to look for other copies of this book and found that I must have gotten a copy off of a bad press run. The copy I got was very badly printed (see below) and never should have been sold. But other copies, if B&N samples are indicative, are OK.

SEND BACK BAD COPIES: see below for example of how badly some (hundreds, perhaps) copies may be. They should be sent back immediately.

THE IDEAL: I just got DK Smithsonian's "The Planets" (2014), a new book from the library that is SPLENDIDLY printed. "You are Here", even the OK copies from my B&N sample, are not even close in quality to "The Planets".

So even though MAYBE "You Are Here" is worth buying, it is still of very mediocre quality printing; very disappointing.

.................. (first review).................

If I were the author I'd be absolutely furious with the printer. These photos should be photographic quality. A few are fine but the majority are poor to very bad.

GRAIN: You can easily see the grain in almost every photo. This is inexcusable in a book printed on photographic paper.

SATURATION: many of the photos are over-saturated with colors being garish instead of bright and beautiful. A lot of enhanced NASA and astronaut photography is "false color" and meant to be shocking and bold, which is purposeful and effective. But the problem here is in the printing, not the enhancement.

In a word, almost none of the photos are enticing and awe-inspiring. Some are actually repulsive they are so poorly done. I had high hopes for this book. I know full well what is possible and what this book should have been. It is a huge disappointment.

MY OWN ATTEMPT: I myself have downloaded and printed up many NASA/astronaut photos very similar to those in the book. I was even planning to publish a book of such copyright-free photos because they print so beautifully. After looking at "You Are Here" I got down my own draft of my book to double check to be sure I was not over reacting ... and, indeed, ALL my prints, done on a good but not highest quality color inkjet printer (Canon Pro 9000) are beautiful as they should normally be - a tribute to the JPGs available for free and not needing any enhancement at all. They are, like this book should have been, so fine that they draw the eye into the minute and endlessly fascinating detail and stunning beauty that characterizes much of astronaut photography.

Don't buy this book. My condolences to Mr. Hadfield who must be very, very disappointed.

Of course, the fault could be his as well as the printer's. I published a WWII book on 100% photo stock paper with over 100 B/W prints. I spent an average of 3-4 hours per scanned photo JPG to be sure they would proof and print well. I can tell you for a certainty without all that prep work, the photos would have been much worse no matter what any printer did with them.

But, really, the grainy printing is not likely Mr. Hadfield's fault but is a lousy print job no matter what prep went into the photos. What a waste of paper, money, his time, your time.

------------------------
DOWNLOADS: anybody can download and freely use photos - [...] ... there are other sources of government space photography but that is one I have on RSS feed and use all the time.

Disappointed.

I heard Commander Chris Hadfield speaking about this book on Travel with Rick Steves on NPR. I immediately got on my phone, and one click ordered. The book arrived the next day, which was impressive- but that was the only impressive thing regarding this purchase. It is small, and the paper doesn't lend itself well to the images. Based on the experiences Mr. Hadfield was describing, the amazing things he has observed from the ISS- I feel that these photographs are a let down. They look like they could have been taken with a long lens from an airplane. The funny graphics included diminished the impact of the images. I thought for a moment about taking this to my classroom for my fourth graders to enjoy, but decided to return it instead. I never have returned a book before. This is my experience, and after reading 5 star reviews, perhaps I am in a limited minority.

For the rest of my life, this will be one of my most favorite books ever!

And on my birthday, last Thursday, my friend treated me to a movie, which was/is "The Martian" (which was exquisite, by the way), and one of the final end-credits was... CHRIS HADFIELD HIMSELF!!! I applauded out loud.

This book makes me cry in the best of ways. Astronaut Hadfield really put his heart and soul into the photographs, and the accompanying text for each of these splendid, mind-blowing photos of our home planet.

THIS is the book to give to others as a gift, after you've treated YOURSELF to it.

Every human being who is alive (as I write this) and ever has been has lived on planet Earth, but few of us have ever seen our home from space. Hadfield has, but rather than reporting "just the facts," he shows himself to have an artistic sensibility, and also ushers us into not just his mind's eye, but the vision of his very soul in this small but delightful photographic ode to life on Mother Earth in all its beauty, glory and occasional ugliness. Buy this book if you have the slightest interest in how our home looks from high above.

This book is GORGEOUS and interesting and did I mention GORGEOUS? The quality is nice and everyone who's picked it up has spent a lot of time looking through it 'oohing' and 'aaahing' over the pictures and pouring over the captions. We love Chris Hadfield and followed his time on the ISS carefully. This book is very special to us! Thanks Mr. Hadfield for such a quality book. Also, thank you for your donation to the MJF foundation, it means a lot to us!

The Earth like you’ve never seen it!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book contains some 120 photographs of places on the earth taken from the International Space Station by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield. Hadfield took about 45,000 images during his flight, so this is a fairly small, but nevertheless fascinating, sample.
Looking at these images, one is often amazed that the photos are of the earth. It shows a level of detail that is absent from maps. There are quite a few cases when the photos look like abstract art and they can be beautiful, curious and strange in various measures. This also applies to the ones showing the effects of human habitation, but also including, in at least one case, a disturbing one, namely a graphic portrayal of the consequences of deforestation in Madagascar (pp. 22-23).
Although we are now accustomed to seeing imagery taken from space, the nice thing about this collection is that they are all taken by human hand, not robotically from an Earth observation satellite. Hadfield’s informative comments on the photos are brief, since this is primarily a book of images.
I have one remark for those of us, like me, who find their knowledge of geography challenged. It is not, in general, straightforward, to relate the images to a corresponding classical atlas view of each location. The book contains a low-resolution world map showing the locations of the places in the photos, but this is too coarse to permit easy reference comparison with an atlas. There is another aspect to this, namely, that the orientation or, more precisely, projection of the ISS photos is linked to the flight path, so a certain amount of rotation of each image might be needed to get a match with the corresponding conventional map representation. So all the more need to be sure you’re looking in the right part of the map. It follows that it would have been useful to have precise latitude and longitude coordinates for each photo, suitable for use for look up in, say, Google Maps or the Times Atlas of the World. But don’t let this put you off the book, which is worth buying for the beautiful photos alone.
I can heartily recommend this book.

More than your typical coffee table book, this book of wonderful pictures carries a story of Earth continent by continent with fabulous snap shots from space. Hadfield explains what geological events created the patterns he has captured. I particularly like the photos from space connected to the land shots of the same space. Chris Hadfield continues his personal mission to educate the world on the importance of travel in space, this time through photography.
