An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth - Chris Hadfield

Before leaving for Europe for four months I received this Christmas present in the mail and just cracked the prologue. I was hooked but had a hunch it would be a book I would want to maintain in my collection, and not want to carry around a continent. Thus it was with great difficulty that I left it behind. When I was back I went beyond the prologue and it was all that I wanted, perhaps more. An inspirational and practical book that really had good lessons and values to instill. How perfect that the examples given to help drive the points home were drawn from time in space or preparing for that almost unreal experience. A true pleasure to read!
