The Telegraph (UK) "Хэдфилд - гений, человек науки и технологий и не новичок в вопросах о Вселенной".

СССР и США состязались всегда и во всем. Космическая гонка не стала исключением. Запустить первый спутник. Стать первыми людьми на Луне. Готовя к отправке новую команду "Аполлон-18" на Луну, правительство Америки ставит перед астронавтами дополнительную цель – уничтожить советский спутник-шпион "Алмаз". Но тренировки, сбор секретных разведданных и сложнейшие расчеты могут пойти прахом из-за случайных ошибок, да и советская разведка не дремлет. У каждой из сторон свой хитроумный план, как заставить соперника сойти с дистанции.

This special hardback edition comes with an audio CD of the story read by Chris Hadfield, plus bonus commentary and The Darkest Dark Song written and recorded by him too!
Young Chris is an astronaut. A very busy astronaut. Saving the planet from aliens is much more important than taking baths or going to bed. Because at bedtime the worst sort of alien appears - darkness. But when Chris watches the first moon landing, he discovers that there is a dark out in Space that is much darker than he's used to. It's the darkest dark ever, and he realizes that the unknown can be . . . exciting!
The Darkest Dark is the debut picture book by Commander Chris Hadfield, international bestselling author of An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, with spectacular illustrations by illustration team, The Fan Brothers. Inspired by Chris's decision to become an astronaut after watching the Apollo 11 moon landing at age nine, The Darkest Dark is about facing your fears and following your dreams. Awarded as a Junior Library Guild Selection in the United States for autumn 2016.

In You Are Here, celebrated astronaut Chris Hadfield gives us the really big picture: this is our home, as seen from space.
The millions of us who followed Hadfield's news-making Twitter feed from the International Space Station thought we knew what we were looking at when we first saw his photos. But we may have caught the beauty and missed the full meaning. Now, through photographs - many of which have never been shared - Hadfield unveils a fresh and insightful look at our planet. He sees astonishing detail and importance in these images, not just because he's spent months in space but because his in-depth knowledge of geology, geography and meteorology allows him to reveal the photos' mysteries.
Featuring Hadfield's favourite images, You Are Here is divided by continent and represents one (idealized) orbit of the ISS. Surprising, thought-provoking and visually delightful, it opens a singular window on our planet, using remarkable photographs to illuminate the history and consequences of human settlement, the magnificence of never-before-noticed landscapes, and the power of the natural forces shaping our world and the future of our species.
