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 also punctuated with fun, fascinating commentary on life in zero gravity. In the spirit of his 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.

One of Space.com's Best Space Photography Books

"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

"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

"A photographic exploration of the planet, a series of spectacular images snapped from the International Space Station."―David Martindale, Dallas Morning News

"Eye-opening and often whimsical."―John McMurtrie, Houston Chronicle

"A visually stunning tour of Earth.... Breathtaking photos."―CBS This Morning

"A stunning book of photos."―Alyssa Newcomb, ABC News

"Fun and fascinating."―David Martindale, Fort Worth Star-Telegram

"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 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

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

"This planetary photo tour-surprising, playful, thought-provoking, and visually delightful-is also punctuated with fun, fascinating commentary on life in zero gravity.... 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

"Stunning photos."―Jacqueline Howard, The Huffington Post

"An astounding volume of 192 full-color photographs."―Leo Mirani, Quartz

"Striking, abstract views of Earth alongside something familiar."―Megan Gannon, Space.com

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.

Cheap reproduction ruins Hadfield’s photography

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

I had great expectations for the book, which were not met. Today one expects a book composed primarily of photographs to be excellent in all respects. The photos here are not reproduced sharply. Was this a choice made by the publisher to economize? If so it badly misfired. The images are blurry. It would be worth paying twice as much for a larger format on premium paper to capture the resolution of the originals. Images from the Space Station on-line show what is possible.
As to the comments of Hadfield, the less said the better. Everyone is free to whatever they want. Perhaps these notes will spark the imaginations of others. Another critic has suggested that children are the best audience.

Fuzzy images in a book of photos?

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

Wow. Have never returned a book before, but there's always a first time, I guess. The image resolution is TERRIBLE. The original photography by astronaut Chris Hadfield was probably fantastic, but the printed images look out of focus. (This could also be an issue from the poor paper quality.) What a pity. This WOULD BE a spectacular book, if its prime assets -- the pictures -- weren't compromised. Perhaps there's a bad printing lot that needs to be sent to the dumpster or sold at fire-sale prices (even then I wouldn't buy). From a major publisher like this, such poor quality control is shocking.

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2019

I bought this book after seeing a video of Chris Hadfield talking about it and thought it would be great. It is a nice book but the quality of the photos wasn't exactly excellent. The photos in the video were much clearer. There is good commentary which makes the book worth the purchase, but the photos could have been better quality. Still a nice book especially for the kids since it's smallish in size.

The wrong size and paper quality for such spectacular images

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

The size and paper quality of this book do not do the images any justice. This book would have been wonderful if this were a large format book with excellent paper and print quality. Sadly, I can only look at the sub par print of these amazing images and imagine what it could have been like..

I think this was a cost saving measure, but I hope at some point the publisher considers publishing a special edition without these flaws.

The view from sixty miles up

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

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!

Splendid!!!!

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.

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.

I loved this book.

The way that Chris Hadfield ties the images to parts of the Earth that the reader can understand makes it so much more interesting and accessible.
Who knew you could see the smoke from Australian bushfires from space...

Some of these photos really do look like works of art, even though some of them highlight the real devastation caused by humans.

I would recommend for anyone who is interested in space, astronomy and/or photography.

Once the size of the pictures had been fitted on one’s screen, they were amazing to appreciate. Beautiful. I was looking at them for a project about cosmic matters and getting an overview of Earth. It would best be used as a coffee table book, always available to look at on a regular basis.The

Superfluously good!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a great book, lots of stunning satellite photos, but then we can all access such photos for free on the internet, so in that sense the book is a little superfluous. However I'm glad I bought it simply because Chris is a great guy who has provided some wonderful Youtube clips from the International Space Station, and buying his book is a way of giving him a little back. It's a good coffee table book, or christmas present.

Fascinating compilation of pictures taken by Chris - so at first you think - I've seen better, clearer, where they have been deliberately shot by the space station but... this is what Chris saw and took the photographs himself (and he has an eye, undeniably) and the more you immerse yourself in them the most you both see and realise that these are a testimony to his experience on the shuttle and what he saw and now you get to see his memories as he does... that is a privilege indeed...
