🌌 Carl Sagan’s Timeless Masterpiece
Renowned astronomer Carl Sagan’s classic bestseller that “dives into the past, present, and future of science, dealing with the mind-staggering enormity of the cosmos in which we exist.” Winner of the Hugo Award and the inspiration for the Emmy-winning television series, Cosmos remains one of the bestselling science books ever published in the English language.
In clear-eyed prose, Sagan reveals a jewel-like blue world inhabited by a life form that is just beginning to discover its own identity and to venture into the vast ocean of space. Featuring full-color illustrations, Cosmos retraces the fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution that have transformed matter into consciousness, exploring the origin of life, the human brain, Egyptian hieroglyphics, spacecraft missions, the death of the Sun, and the evolution of galaxies.
💬 “Sagan dazzles the mind with the miracle of our survival, framed by the stately galaxies of space.”
