Back to Earth: What Life in Space Taught Me About Our Home Planet — and Our Mission to Protect It by Nicole Stott Inspired by insights gained in spaceflight, a NASA astronaut offers key lessons to empower Earthbound readers to fight climate change.When Nicole Stott first saw Earth from space, she realized how interconnected we are and knew she had to help protect our planetary home. In Back to Earth, Stott imparts essential lessons in problem-solving, survival, and crisis response that each of us can practice to make change. She knows we can overcome differences to address global issues, because she saw this every day on the International Space Station. Stott shares stories from her spaceflight and insights from scientists, activists, and changemakers working to solve our greatest environmental challenges. She learns about the complexities of Earth’s biodiversity from NASA engineers working to enable life in space and from scientists protecting life on Earth for future generations. Ultimately, Stott reveals how we each have the power to respect our planetary home and one another by living our lives like crewmates, not passengers, on an inspiring shared mission. - Hardcover, 304 pages

It would appear the book plate offer does not work for anybody living outside the US. |

No apparent option for multiple plates either. I bought two on one order, hope I get two plates. I'm also willing to help forward some for overseas folks if that's possible. UPDATE: I received one signed plate (from prior order of two copies) and nothing else yet, so I cannot be sure I'll be able to forward others to overseas collectors. |

My review of this wonderful new book. There's a deceptively simple clarity to this book that surprised me with its power. Nicole, one of the nicest and most personable people I've ever met, uses her platform as a former space shuttle and space station astronaut to great effect to say something that is subtly yet surprisingly different from other works I’ve come across... |
