RETURNING TO TELEVISION AS AN ALL-NEW MINISERIES ON FOX
Cosmos is one of the bestselling science books of all time. In
clear-eyed prose, 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. Featuring a new Introduction by
Sagan's collaborator, Ann Druyan, full color illustrations, and a new
Foreword by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Cosmos retraces the
fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution that have transformed matter
into consciousness, exploring such topics as 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 to shape modern science.
