Cosmos

The classic bestseller that dives into the past, present, and future of science.

In clear-eyed prose, renowned astronomer Carl 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. Cosmos retraces the fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution that have transformed matter into consciousness.

Featuring beautiful full-color illustrations, this masterpiece explores a mind-boggling range of topics, including the origin of life, the human brain, Egyptian hieroglyphics, spacecraft missions, the death of the Sun, the evolution of galaxies, and the forces and individuals who helped shape modern science.

🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:

If there is one book that completely captures the awe of looking through a telescope, it is 'Cosmos'. Carl Sagan didn't just teach us about the stars; he taught us about ourselves and our profound, literal connection to the universe. With the brilliant additions from Ann Druyan and Neil deGrasse Tyson, this edition belongs on the shelf of every single space enthusiast. It's a gorgeous book that I find myself returning to time and time again.
