Review - Cosmos, the book


Hello!

"The cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be" were the first words of this book. These sentence by the late Carl Sagan themselves explain the immensity and eternity of the cosmos in which we live. This is a story about us and the beings living with us. This book was inspired by the most widely watched series in the history of American public television that has been viewed by over 200 million people in more than 60 countries. This series was also awarded Emmy and Peabody television excellence awards. This is a book which does not only gives you facts but also takes your imagination beyond your understanding to show you the past, where you can witness the golden age of humanity. The present, in which you can see what we are doing to our planet. The future, where you can ponder millions of years ahead about us traversing light years and might be taking inter-galactic transportation through wormholes.

Sagan has covered a wide variety of subjects, from dark ages to nuclear age, from Ionia to Alexandria, from Plato to Einstein to make you understand how significant we we in the stretches of this Universe.This book is worth reading by everyone who really ponders about what life is about in this complicated web of events, seemed to be connected in the Cosmos.
