SUMMARY:Pages with Purpose: Virtual Book Group with Astronaut-Author Nicole Stott
DESCRIPTION:When Nicole Stott first saw Earth from space\, she realized how interconnected we are and knew she had to help protect our planetary home. \nJoin us as we take a journey with astronaut and author Nicole Stott to talk about her experiences in space and what that taught her about our home planet here on earth.

A must read for anyone who cares about this planet—which should be all of us.” \n– Astronaut Scott Kelly\, New York Times-bestselling author of Endurance \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Stott shows us that Earth is our ship—and if we’re not careful\, we’re sunk. Her experiences convinced her that we can all do something to make the world better. The tasks ahead\, and the views\, are tremendous.” \n—Bill Nye\, the science guy \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend
