Über diesen Titel

"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

And now i wonder if Ann Druyan saw the Mars Rover and Helicopter. If she was lucky to see the rocket launchers from SpaceX or BlueOrigin. Or the daredevil who flew in a weather balloon to take a peak on how huge is this world. Ans when she saw that what was she thinking?

Just finished the book...

Sagan is really passionate and knowledgeable on the topics he is addressing in this book. Human tendencies, psychology, technological advancements, growth and ambition are all analysed together with astrophysics, astronomy and other fields of science and they are all mixed together to draw conclusions about the past but mainly the future of humanity. Our place both here on earth and among the stars is discussed sometimes with passion and well structured argumentation and other times, much more rarely, with an overly simplistic and naive way, the message though is clear and inspiring. Unfortunately the second reader is Sagan's wife, who reads many chapters at a very advanced age with a really sweet grandmother voice, but it takes away in my opinion from the experience as her tone does not really fit the book that well.

Nice message but hit or miss reading

I simply love Carl Sagan. His enthusiasm for science and the apparent importance ease for communicating it that he always had, shine throughout this book. It may be my favorite of his.
Bear in mind though that most of book is narrated by Ann, only the first chapters are with Carl’s voice.

Sagan’s best

The well-known astrophysicist Carl Sagan reports as an insider about the fascinating scientific exploration of our solar system. He combines this with the human search for our role and position in the universe from a scientific-only point of view and a preview of a possible - and mandatory - future spreading of our descendants into space.

The narration of the audiobook was done just wonderfully, and links the scientific facts in a rarely found way with emotions and hopes for the future.

I strongly recommend this audiobook not only to scientific nerds but especially to everyone who is bored by the short-sightedness of our society and politics.

Deeply amazing and moving science report

Love the quotes at the beginning of every chapter. The book is diverse and paints a wholesome picture about mankind's journey to space; the past, present and future cultures and trends.

A mesmerizing journey of mankind's ventures

Sorry, I'm sure the book is pretty interesting but unfortunately it isn't completely Red by Sagan himself. After chapter five some female takes over and her voice is unbearable...high, shrill and penetrant. I had to stop listening.

Terrible voice
