Marian van der Ster Book order (chronological)

The Woman in Me is een dappere en ontroerende verhaal over vrijheid, roem, moederschap, overleving, geloof en hoop. Het onthult voor het eerst haar ongelooflijke reis—en de kracht die ten grondslag ligt aan een van de grootste performers in de popgeschiedenis. Geschreven met opmerkelijke openhartigheid en humor, belicht Spears' baanbrekende boek de blijvende kracht van muziek en liefde—en het belang van een vrouw die haar eigen verhaal vertelt, op haar eigen voorwaarden, eindelijk.

From the Nasa astronaut who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station - what it's like out there and what it's like now, back here. Enter Scott Kelly's fascinating world and dare to think of your own a little differently. The veteran of four space flights and the American record holder for most consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few of us ever have and very few of us ever will. Kelly's humanity, compassion, humour, and passion shine as he describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both existential and banal. He touches on what's happened to his body, the sadness of being isolated from everyone he loves; the pressures of constant close cohabitation; the catastrophic risks of colliding with space junk, and the still more haunting threat of being absent should tragedy strike at home. From a natural storyteller Endurance is one of the finest examples the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the boundless wonder of the galaxy.
