'Orbital'

Living Geography

A cross-posting from my GeoLibrary blog which has hundreds of books recommended and with some information about where they might be used, and why they deserve a shelf on the GeoLibrary. This book is on the Booker longlist. It's a fiction book, but is packed with geography. It's about four astronauts and two cosmonauts in the International Space Station.
