Description:
|
For astronaut Ron Garan, living on the International Space Station was a powerful, tranformative experience - one that he believes holds the key to solving our problems here on Earth. Garan vividly conveys what it was like learning to work with a diverse group of people in an environment only a handful of human beings have ever known. But more importantly, he describes how he and others are working to apply the orbital perspective here at home, embracing new partnerships and processes to promote peace and combat hunger, thirst, poverty, and environmental destruction.
