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.

Описание: Это последняя книга Карла Сагана, астронома, астрофизика и выдающегося популяризатора науки, вышедшая уже после его смерти. Эта книга, посвященная одной из его любимых тем — человеческому разуму и борьбе с псевдонаучной глупостью, — своего рода итог всей его работы. Мифы об Атлантиде и Лемурии, лица на Марсе и встречи с инопланетянами, магия и реинкарнация, ясновидение и снежный человек, креационизм и астрология — Саган последовательно и беспощадно разоблачает мифы, созданные невежеством, страхом и корыстью.Именно как персональное путешествие по космосу строится вся научная и писательская жизнь Сагана. Он участвовал в изучении атмосферы Венеры, спутников Юпитера и Урана, разработке космических зондов и посланий инопланетному разуму. Знания о климате других планет подвели Сагана к обоснованному выводу об опасности глобального потепления на родной планете, а поиск инопланетного разума побуждал тем более интересоваться природой разума и неразумности. Обладатель Пулитцеровской премии за литературу, медали NASA, статуса Великого американца и такого количества наград, что в его честь Мемориальная награда за космические исследования носит имя Карла Сагана.

La visite d'une femme de coeur, intelligente et calme, vient troubler ce délicieux désordre. Comment écarter la menace? Dans la pinède embrasée, un jeu cruel se prépare.C'était l'été 1954. On entendait pour la première fois la voix sèche et rapide d'un "charmant petit monstre" qui allait faire scandale. la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle commençait. Elle serait à l'image de cette adolescente déchirée entre le remords et le culte du plaisir.

Описание: "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

Описание: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In the final book of his astonishing career, Carl Sagan brilliantly examines the burning questions of our lives, our world, and the universe around us.

These luminous, entertaining essays travel both the vastness of the cosmos and the intimacy of the human mind, posing such fascinating questions as how did the universe originate and how will it end, and how can we meld science and compassion to meet the challenges of the coming century? Here, too, is a rare, private glimpse of Sagan's thoughts about love, death, and God as he struggled with fatal disease.

Ever forward-looking and vibrant with the sparkle of his unquenchable curiosity, Billions & Billions is a testament to one of the great scientific minds of our day.

Praise for Billions & Billions

" Sagan's] writing brims with optimism, clarity and compassion."--Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel

"Sagan used the spotlight of his fame to illuminate the abyss into which stupidity, greed, and the lust for power may yet dump us. All of those interests and causes are handsomely represented in Billions & Billions."--The Washington Post Book World

"Astronomer Carl Sagan didn't live to see the millennium, but he probably has done more than any other popular scientist to prepare us for its arrival."--Atlanta Journal & Constitution

"Billions & Billions can be interpreted as the Silent Spring for the current generation. . . . Human history includes a number of leaders with great minds who gave us theories about our universe and origins that ran contrary to religious dogma. Galileo determined that the Earth revolved around the Sun, not the other way around. Darwin challenged Creationism with his Evolution of Species. And now, Sagan has given the world its latest challenge: Billions & Billions."--San Antonio Express-News

" Sagan's] inspiration and boundless curiosity live on in the gift of his work."--Seattle Times & Post-Intelligencer

"Couldn't stay awake in your high school science classes? This book can help fill in the holes. Acclaimed scientist Carl Sagan combines his logic and knowledge with wit and humor to make a potentially dry subject enjoyable to read."--The Dallas Morning News
