Experience what life in space is really like: the sights, the smells, the fear, the sacrifice, the exhilaration and the deep and abiding wonder of the view. Warm, inspiring and often funny, Limitless charts Time Peak's surprising road to becoming an astronaut, from a shy and unassuming boy from Chichester who had a passion for flight, to a young British Army officer, Apache helicopter pilot, flight instructor and test pilot who served around the world. Tim also relives his gruelling six years of training to be an astronaut, tested physically, psychologically and intellectually - from learning Russian to coping with the claustrophobia of living for days in caves and under oceans. Full of life lessons for readers of all ages, Limitless is the story of how ordinary can become extraordinary

Tim's lively stories about life in space appear alongside these photographs, including the tale from which the title is taken: his famous wrong number dialed from space, when he accidentally called a stranger and asked: "Hello, is this planet Earth?" With this truly unique perspective on the incredible sights of our planet, Tim demonstrates that while in space, hundreds of miles above his friends and family, he never felt closer to home.

There is tremendous variety in form, theme, and tone in the poems in this volume. Many of the poems may strike the reader as corroboration of Thoreau's view of wildness and wilderness because Peake's love of wild things forms his poetic center, but this book also includes intense love poems as well as celebrations of birds and trees and lightning bugs. Though Peake celebrates nature, he does not view it with sentimentality. He faces without tears a world in which one creature preys upon another for survival, and he looks without fear to the "revelry of the grave" when his form becomes food for worms and feeds the laurel bushes growing over him. According to critic John Lang, Peake's poems reveal "a poet whose ear is attuned to the music of words" His poems abound "in beautiful lines and images: 'The black-necked waders cry in their wet fields, ' for example, and 'skies the white-faced ibis soars.' Such lines embody in Fred Chappell's phrase, 'the eye's joy.'" Like Peake's descriptions of finding a rare green kingfisher, for readers of his poems, "Delight follows discovery."
