Leroy Chiao was fascinated by the space program as a young boy, and he dreamed of one day looking back at our Earth from space.
This book includes photographs from all four of his spaceflights, most of them taken by Dr. Chiao himself.
While many of the pictures are breathtaking scenes of the Earth from orbit, working shots of operations both inside and outside of spacecraft are also featured.
For each photograph, Leroy describes his impressions and what thoughts they evoked.
