COSMOS

“This book is captivating... colorful... stimulating the imagination.”

New York Times Book Review

“Broad in its subject matter and thought-provoking... ablaze with wonder.”

Miami Herald

“A fine book of accessible science, with an extraordinary amount of imagination and insight.”

San Diego Union

“Cosmos is a powerful, daring... one of the book’s strengths is its exploration of the historical roots of modern science and the scientific method. Dr. Sagan’s poetic insight and literary skill make it a remarkable read.”

Christian Science Monitor

“Carl Sagan is one of the most brilliant scientists of our time. He has produced a magnificent work that reflects on the past, present, and future of science. He grapples with the mind-boggling cosmic awe.”

Associated Press

“Pulitzer Prize-winning Carl Sagan has condensed the entire dazzling universe into a single, magnificent book. He weaves science and philosophy into a lyrical narrative. Sagan dazzles us with the miracle of our survival and the splendor of the majestic galaxies of space.”

Cosmopolitan

“The Cosmos television series introduced millions of viewers not only to the wonders of space but also to the deepest scientific questions about the nature and origins of the universe, life, and humanity. Carl Sagan’s Cosmos is not a script for a television series, but a rich, chronological account of the great human endeavor in scientific achievement. ‘Cosmos’ gives the reader the opportunity to think deeply…’
The Christian Century

‘In a few years, Sagan has become ‘Mr. Science.’ He has brought science to the level of public understanding, connecting the issues of life and history with the vastness of space and eternity. He does this work so beautifully and vividly that you begin to feel that nothing is more exciting or important.’

Chicago Tribune

‘Sagan is an astronomer with one eye on the stars and the other on history, while his third eye of mind is fixed on human affairs… We admire his lofty determination and eloquence; He sometimes takes on a poetic sophistication and often fills us with wonder about our universe and ourselves.

Newsday

"Sagan knows exactly how to stimulate the imagination of the average reader and hold his interest from the first page to the last... This mind-expanding book takes us on a fascinating journey through the ocean of the universe. It is a book full of knowledge, beautifully written. Every intelligent reader should read, ponder, learn and make it a part of their own thinking."
