"An inside look at what it’s like to be in outer space—and a guide to leading a meaningful life." --Adam Grant
In 2010, Cady Coleman boarded a rocket and blasted off into space for her third NASA mission, a six-month expedition to the International Space Station where she was the only woman on her six person crew. After years spent overcoming obstacles in competitive, high-performance environments, including grappling with her own doubts and training in a spacesuit that was too big, Coleman became a success story in a role that wasn’t built with her in mind—an astronaut who is also a mother, Air Force colonel, scientist, and leader. Her determination and amazing experiences give her a unique perspective on how to set yourself up for success, in space and here on Earth.
Illustrated with stories from her life and training, Cady takes readers from meteorite hunting in Antarctica to launching a $1.6 billion telescope into space to the wonder of spending six months living and working in zero gravity. Come in and find out more about this book!

We have a rich selection of new books, informed by NEIBA selections, recent award-winners, the New York Times book review and bestseller list, and our staff's reading interests. We also have a diverse collection of used and vintage books, all updated regularly. We carry a large selection of children's picture books, chapter books, and YA... children's classics and vintage children's too! Our nonfiction collection contains small and university presses, as well as more popular history, science, memoir, biography, nature, field guides, cookbooks, and more.
We carry all kinds of vintage books, many from the 20th century, but also from the 19th century and earlier, as we find them. We like to stock classics with decorative Victorian gilded cloth covers, and leather-bound volumes and sets when we can. We also delight in early to mid-20th century technical books (science, health, engineering), vintage architectural volumes, midcentury cookbooks, and vintage travel. Old children's books are also so much fun. Come see what we have today!
