| Abstract
|
:
|
"More than twenty-five years ago Frank White coined the term Overview Effect to describe the awe inspiring experience of viewing the Earth from space. He has found that with great consistency, this experience profoundly affects space travelers' perceptions of themselves, our world, and our future. In The Overview Effect, Third Edition Frank White expands on this conversation which has since gained worldwide recognition and exposure. Featuring new interviews with Helen P. Sharman, Michael Lopez-Alegria, Sandra H. Magnus, John B. Harrington, Ronald J. Garan, Jr., Akihiko Hoshide, Nicole P. Stott, George Whitesides and Loretta Hidalgo Whitesides, and Sir Richard Branson"--Publisher's description.
