Back on the earth after three spaceflights, Chris Hadfield's captivating memoir An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth reveals extraordinary stories from his life as an astronaut, and shows how to make the impossible a reality. This edition contains a new afterword.Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4,000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft, and become a YouTube sensation with his performance of David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' in space. The secret to Chris Hadfield's success – and survival – is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst – and enjoy every moment of it.In his book, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Chris Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement – and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counter-intuitive lessons: don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff.You might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Colonel Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing insights in this book will teach you how to think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on Earth – especially your own.

In You Are Here, celebrated astronaut Chris Hadfield gives us the really big picture: this is our home, as seen from space. The millions of us who followed Hadfield's news-making Twitter feed from the International Space Station thought we knew what we were looking at when we first saw his photos. But we may have caught the beauty and missed the full meaning. Now, through photographs – many of which have never been shared – Hadfield unveils a fresh and insightful look at our planet. He sees astonishing detail and importance in these images, not just because he's spent months in space but because his in-depth knowledge of geology, geography and meteorology allows him to reveal the photos' mysteries.Featuring Hadfield's favourite images, You Are Here is divided by continent and represents one (idealized) orbit of the ISS. Surprising, thought-provoking and visually delightful, it opens a singular window on our planet, using remarkable photographs to illuminate the history and consequences of human settlement, the magnificence of never-before-noticed landscapes, and the power of the natural forces shaping our world and the future of our species.

Ein einziger Überläufer bestimmt das Schicksal einer NationEiner der besten Kampfpiloten der US Air Force und US Navy schreibt einen Thriller über den Kalten Krieg – authentischer wird es nicht mehr! Chris Hadfield verknüpft spannendes Insiderwissen über Technik mit politischen Intrigen, die auf wahren Begebenheiten beruhen.Israel, 1973. Während der Jom-Kippur-Krieg aufflammt, rast ein hochmoderner Kampfjet mit halsbrecherischer Geschwindigkeit über das trockene Buschland. Darin: ein sowjetischer Pilot, der in die USA überlaufen will. Seine Informationen sind von unschätzbarem Wert, denn er kennt die Geheimnisse der legendären »Foxbat« MiG-25, des schnellsten und höchstfliegenden Kampfflugzeugs der Welt, und somit auch den Schlüssel zur Lufthoheit im Kalten Krieg. Der NASA-Flugleiter und ehemalige Testpilot der US-Marine Kaz Zemeckis erhält den Auftrag, den Überläufer auf das geheimste Testgelände der USA, die Area 51, zu bringen. Eine gefährliche Aktion, die ein unvorstellbar hohes Risiko birgt ...Perfekt für Fans von Tom Clancy, David Baldacci und Robert Ludlum.»Spannend bis zum letzten Satz ... Hadfield ist eindeutig dazu bestimmt, Tom Clancy als Meister des Technothrillers zu beerben.« Irish Independent

Kuolema vaanii avaruusaluksen käytävillä
Astronautti Chris Hadfieldin jännäri Apollo-murhat laukaisee lukijan ulkoavaruuteen keskelle kuolettavaa kissa ja hiiri -leikkiä, jonka varjot piirtyvät kylmän sodan taustaa vasten
Vuonna 1973, kylmän sodan ollessa kylmimmillään, NASA on aloittamassa salaisen Apollo 18 -tehtävän, jonka on kerrottu olevan viimeinen Kuuhun kohdistuva tieteellinen tutkimusretki. Lennonjohtaja Kazimieras ”Kaz” Zemeckis tietää kuitenkin, että tehtävällä on salattu ja paljon synkempi tarkoitusperä. Yhdysvallat on havainnut Kuun pinnalla Neuvostoliiton vakoiluaseman, jonka ainoa pysäyttämiskeino Apollo 18 saattaa olla.
Apollo-aluksen lähestyessä Kuuta Yhdysvaltojen ja Neuvostoliiton väliset jännitteet maan päällä kiristyvät lähes katkeamispisteeseen, ja aluksen miehistö joutuu kamppailemaan sekä aikaa että Neuvostoliiton sabotaasiyrityksiä vastaan laskeutuessaan Kuun pinnalle. Paineiden kasautuessa yllättävä onnettomuus herättää Kazin epäilyksen siitä, ovatko kaikki Apollo-miehistön jäsenet keitä he sanovat olevansa. Ja onko joku heistä aluksen kyydissä suunnitelmissaan murha.
Chris Hadfieldin Apollo-murhat on kuuluisan astronautin jännityksentäyteinen esikoisromaani, joka sinkoaa lukijan avaruuteen keskelle joka suunnalta kymmenien tuhansien kilometrien tuntinopeudella lähestyviä vaaroja.
