While 'Cosmos' often gets the spotlight, 'The Cosmic Connection' is where his unique ability to bridge hard science with deep philosophy really first took flight. I absolutely love this hardcover edition because the updated commentary from Ann Druyan and Freeman Dyson provides such incredible modern context to Sagan's original 1973 predictions. It’s an essential volume for anyone who looks up at the night sky and wonders about our place in it all.\"\n  \u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49306731053195,"sku":"CSMC-CNNCTN","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/7028\/6987\/files\/9780521783033.jpg?v=1788481240","url":"https:\/\/bracken-observatory.com\/products\/carl-sagans-cosmic-connection-2nd-ed","provider":"Bracken Observatory®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
