Earth at Night: Our Planet in Brilliant Darkness by NASA

Awesome night photography from our own satellites and astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Hurricanes, forest fires, and volcano eruptions are visible alongside highways, gas flares and holiday lights. I think it's so cool that you can watch human development overtime just from aerial and now satellite photography. NASA's satellites are so advanced they can even see a single street lamp from space!

Amazing display of technology and the natural world.

Government Information Essentials edited by Susanne Caro

Wow. This book has been immensely helpful as a new government documents professional. I loved reading about the experiences of other librarians in the profession, and several of the authors I already knew from online discussion lists. It's given me tons of ideas and resources that I've already started using and plan to use in the future.

A must read for new gov doc librarians, but good for anyone interested in government information
