Cosmos: A Personal Voyage

Very useful very informative if you're kind of lover of science you'll find it helpful

This is the best book science book I have read. Carl Sagan is an amazing story teller. He takes us through a voyage in time, and tell us about our place in the universe. Some of the thought experiments and hypothesis just blew my mind. I recommend this book to everyone who is enthusiastic about science.

The media could not be loaded.  This book may be very knowledgeable... as I have not read it till now but the printing of this book is not good.... as u can see int the video... given...

Amazing bookPeople who loves to read planets, science,and cosmic evolution this is the book and trust me guys very interesting book

There is nothing much to hate it. It's The Best and most beautiful book I've ever read. This book takes you on a voyage from the big band to the evolution of civilization to the end of life and beyond. Definitely recommend for Science Lovers.

Amazingly written and is good to read and to know how minuscule we are and our earth in this universe and hence will make you understand that we are not as important as we think and hence we should take ourselves lightly and should enjoy our life to the fullest as we are lucky to be born on this earth.

no problems with the product no damages pages were of good quality and the overall quality is good

Very untidy

Thought provoking. Makes you expand your scope of thinking. Last couple of chapters recommended for leaders and decision makers all over the world

però bisogna sapere che NON ci sono immagini (l'edizione originale era illustrata).

Que puedo decir de esta obra que no se haya dicho antes. Es fantástica. Te lleva al cosmos, alejado de los ridículos e inapreciables problemas que plagan nuestras vidas a diario. En el cosmos no somos más que ínfima mota de polvo flotando en el vacío intergaláctico. Esta obra permite viajar por esos vastos océanos espaciales plagados de estrellas y mundos que escapan a nuestra imaginación.Del vendedor, Ultimate Treasures ES, tengo que decir que es excepcionalmente bueno. Tuve un pequeño problema y lo solucionaron en 2 días. Muy recomendable.

Every one concerned about the current and future human being’s survival needs to read!

This book was written shortly after the ground-breaking documentary series of the same name also presented by the author. The book was published in 1981, which puts it in a time frame with two other ground-breaking popular science books: The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins and A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawkins. In no way can the book be considered dated. Indeed, it has a certain freshness, being written close to the great, pioneering space exploration mission of the Voyager and Pioneer probes which are discussed. The book could be described as a history of ideas, in particular the supreme achievement of humans, that of Science. Indeed, as far as we are currently aware, humans represent the first point at which the cosmos became aware of itself; a remarkable and humbling thought (although I hope there are other civilisations). Sagan is in no way dismissive of ideas about the cosmos arising from non-scientific approaches. In the very early days of humanity, these were brave attempts to understand the world. However, the message is very clear: the methods developed by science are the only way to understand the cosmos. Religion and the appeal to authority cannot provide adequate understanding. The origins of science in the pre-Socratic period and its tragic abandonment are described.The writing is crisp, clear and a pleasure to read. It is a unique combination of science, history and philosophy. I also recommend watching Sagan's documentary series and indeed the recently released new version of Cosmos presented by Neil deGrasse Tyson.To quote the first line of the first chapter: "The cosmos is all that ever is or ever was or ever will be."
