Here's another gift idea for those of you looking for something special to give this year.

'Gaia' is a newly released tome from art publishers Assouline which documents a trip Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté took into space.

Containing stunning photographs of our planet taken from 220 miles away during his eleven-day trip orbiting the Earth as a private space explorer, it captures unique views of nearly forty countries.

A documentation both rare and captivating, Laliberté has curated a set of images are natural works of art, rich in colour and texture.

The book comes in a hand-bound, limited edition with colour plates presented in a linen clamshell box, as well as a complimentary Assouline canvas tote bag.

There's also a mega-luxe artist version available, which comes with multilevel topographic embossing and an inclusive donation to Laliberté’s One Drop foundation, which aims to eliminate poverty by providing access to clean water.
