  Divided by continent, You Are Here represents one (idealized) orbit of the ISS. This planetary photo toursurprising, 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, Chris Hadfield opens a singular window on our planet, using remarkable photographs to illuminate the history and consequences of human settlement, the magnificence (and strangeness) of never-before-noticed landscapes, and the power of the natural forces shaping our world and the future of our species.

  The attacks began with a rifle-butt knock on the guard booth glass and a curse command. From there, the September 11th, 2011 assaults on the Special Mission Compound and a nearby C.I.A. annex compound in Benghazi, Libya escalated into the murders of two high State Department officials and two C.I.A. contract workers. For the Annex Security Team who helped write this book, the Islamic militant assault marked the most harrowing thirteen hours of their lives, a seemingly endless period during which they fought and struggled to repel the zealot attackers who badly outnumbered them. In this galvanizing book, they tell their personal stories of that day, restoring a human immediacy to events still fiercely debated in Congress.
