About this book
Cosmos by Carl Sagan is based on his thirteen-part television series and treats science in its broadest human context, as the story of how science and civilization grew up together. Random House published this 365-page hardcover in 1980 with over 250 full-color illustrations.
Topics include spacecraft missions to the nearby planets, the Library of ancient Alexandria, Egyptian hieroglyphics and the origin of life. Sagan retraces fifteen billion years of cosmic evolution and considers life elsewhere and the possibility of communicating with beings of other worlds. He also tells the story of the individuals who helped shape modern science, among them Democritus, Hypatia, Kepler and Newton.
