From the record-breaking astronaut, national hero, and best-selling author of Endurance, a breathtaking collection of photos documenting his journey on the International Space Station, the vastness of space, and the unparalleled beauty of our own home planet.Ones perspective shifts when one lives for an entire year--as Commander Scott Kelly, and no other American astronaut in history, has--in the isolating, grueling, and utterly unforgiving vacuum of space. Kellys photos prove that this perspective--from 250 miles above earth--while hard-won, is also almost unspeakably beautiful. He mastered the rare art of microgravity photography. Using a Nikon D4 with a long 800mm lens and a 1.4x magnifying zoom lens, he panned the camera as the shutter released in order to compensate for the space stations velocity: 17,500 mph relative to the earth. Kellys artists eye helped make him a social media sensation, and here his photos are collected alongside his own commentary, which sets the images in their proper contexts, human and cosmic. Kelly captures sunsets, moonrises, the aurora borealis, and the luminous, hazy tapestry of the Milky Way. He presents snapshots of life and work on the International Space Station, from spacewalks to selfies. But above all--or floating amid all--he takes the earth itself as his celestial muse. Here are hurricanes, wrinkled mountains, New York City shining like a galaxy--glorious photographs that are, in themselves, a passionate argument for the preservation of our planet in the face of climate change and environmental destruction.

340 Tage im All - eine uberirdische AbenteuergeschichteEin Jahr lebte Scott Kelly ohne Unterbrechung im Weltraum, auf der ISS, viermal flog er ins All. Jetzt blickt er zuruck auf ein Leben voller Gefahren und Abenteuer mit der Hoffnung, dass der blaue Planet zu retten ist: "Ich habe begriffen, dass Gras wunderbar riecht und dass Regen ein Wunder ist." Aus der kalten Ferne des Universums und der Internationalen Raumstation hat der Raumfahrt-Veteran Scott Kelly wie kein anderer gefuhlt, wie kostbar das Refugium Erde ist. In seiner personlichen Geschichte nimmt er den Leser mit in eine lebensfeindliche Welt; er erzahlt von den Herausforderungen eines Langzeitflugs im All und den dramatischen Folgen fur Korper und Seele. Doch im Zentrum stehen die uberwaltigenden Eindrucke und Erlebnisse, die Begeisterung und der Wille, mit denen Menschen ihre Traume verwirklichen. Mit dieser Kraft konnen sie, so mahnt Kelly, auch die Schonheit ihres einmaligen Heimatplaneten bewahren.
