"He who seldom speaks, and with one calm well-timed word can strike dumb the loquacious, is a genius or a hero."

| |  | | | In Brief
"From John Glenn's flight in 1962 to the present, astronauts have usedhandheld cameras to photograph Earth, its atmosphere and auroras. The Gemini, Apollo, and Skylab missions and, since 1981, the shuttle, have combined to produce more than 250,000 negatives. This . . . book by one of the astronauts (Apt) and two geographers reproduces 154 of them, mostly from the shuttle. . .. The photographs record surface changes over the 30-year period, the visibleeffects of long-term tectonic shifts of Earth's crust, deforestation, alteredrivers, changed lake shores, increased and decreased pollution, and changes in displays of aurora. Individual captions plus maps locating the center of each picture . . . interpret and orient the images." (Choice) Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
Orbit takes the reader into space for astronaut's views of home: Cape Cod arching into the Atlantic, Mount Everest casting its shadow over lesser peaks, the sands of the Sahara arrayed in endless patterns. Like any travelers, these voyagers in space have aimed their cameras at sights that startled their eyes. They have flown through the aurora and captured its rippling, mystic colors. They have looked down upon storms and volcanoes. And they have documented the human imprint upon the Earth: the scarred forests, the topsoil washing into the sea. As these matchless photos show, we now keep a vigil over our Earth, a vigil that will help us preserve this realm of fragile beauty.
