Dr. Üstün Aydıngöz has produced a remarkable book about a remarkable land. Turkey from Space as Viewed by Astronauts captures with great accuracy and sensitivity the fantastic landscape of one of the most photogenic countries on Earth. ... Until a Turkish astronaut ascends into space and describes Turkey in poetic words, Dr. Aydingozs fine book gives us both the inspiration and the reason to be responsible stewards of this lovely planet. -Dr. Jay Apt NASA Astronaut (retired)
