Most beautiful pictures about most beautiful planet!

I ordered this book form Amazon and then I recieve it, I saw very beatuful book with great photos about the planet there we live. It's such joy to see that we haven't killed this planet (jet) and astronauts have oportunity to picture this beautiful view. Let's keep it that way...

Breathtaking

This is no mere book. I actually encountered a sense of dizziness from some of the photographs!! It shows our Mother Earth as an incredibly beautiful place in which to live, yet so fragile that we need to continuously protect her.

My congratulations and thanks to the astronauts who shared these photographs with their earthbound neighbors. And for those of you who have a secret desire to go into space, this is a MUST HAVE!!!!

Breathtaking V!iew!!

Whether a space fanatic, or not...this book is awe-inspiring to anyone that sits down with it. An amazing view of how beautiful our planet is from afar. Personally I would love to have some of these images enlarged and framed! BEAUTIFUL...

great book, lots of color pictures

I really liked this book, it was mostly pictures of Earth, and this book had pictures from every continent on the planet Earth.

Beautiful and sobering images of the changing planet

Don't mistake "Orbit", by Apt, et al. for a casual, coffee table sort of book. The high resolution images of the earth, taken primarily by space shuttle crew members, are visually arresting. The massive impact of deforestation and the resulting soil erosion is particularly sobering. In vignettes such as the shrinking Aral Sea, this book conveys a visual truth which goes beyond the idealization and abstraction of maps to the current reality of the planet's surface. This is a beautiful and profound book.
