[.ca] Amazing International Space Station, The (ISBN 1553373804)

Amazing photos and interesting space facts:
Fun book design, informal text, and excellent photographs give a clear and interesting introduction to life on the International Space Station (ISS). Answers questions like how do astronauts wash and go to the bathroom in space. Gives advice to astronaut wannabes like study math and science and go to college (and 64% of all American astronauts were involved in scouting). There is considerable talk about physical effects of zero gravity. A real problem is bone loss so the astronauts exercise for a couple of hours everyday. I really enjoyed this book and learned a lot about the ISS and what it is like to live in space for extended periods of time. Includes several activities to try at home and an index.
