"FASCINATING . . . MEMORABLE . . . REVEALING . . . PERHAPS THE BEST OF
CARL SAGAN'S BOOKS." --The Washington Post Book World (front page
review)
In Cosmos, the late astronomer Carl Sagan cast his gaze over the
magnificent mystery of the Universe and made it accessible to millions
of people around the world. Now in this stunning sequel, Carl Sagan
completes his revolutionary journey through space and time.
Future generations will look back on our epoch as the time when the
human race finally broke into a radically new frontier--space. In Pale
Blue Dot Sagan traces the spellbinding history of our launch into the
cosmos and assesses the future that looms before us as we move out into
our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond. The exploration
and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy nor luxury,
insists Sagan, but rather a necessary condition for the survival of the
human race.
"TAKES READERS FAR BEYOND Cosmos . . . Sagan sees humanity's future in
the stars." --Chicago Tribune
