Imagine being on an intergalactic rollercoaster ride!!
Carl Sagan's
cosmos lets you have that experience right from your
sitting place. We are taken on a thrilling, hair raising journey as Sagan expertly carries us across the
universe in space and time. Clearly Sagan was as good a writer as he was a scientist.
He traces the history of science and human achievements from the prehistoric age to the present and then tries us to show the future of human civilization. The birth of the universe, stars and then origin of life, the continuing search for extraterrestrial intelligence and the meaning of everything around us - the book leaves you wanting for more. It is hard to put it down once picked up. The book gives us a perspective of our place in the universe and what a fragile, tiny speck of dust our
planet is. Sagan makes us realise what a precious gift our planet is and the need for preserving it to ensure our own survival and that of other species that share our home.
Based on an original television series this book is an international bestseller that must not be missed.
