Summary: The best scientific book ever written
Review: When I first read Cosmos I was just 15 years old and from that day on a new thing developed inside me: the pleasure of discovery and knowledge.The book is written in a very accessible way and anyone can and should read it. Cosmos can be called as the "bible" of the astronomers.It's with books like these that mankind gets the passion to look ahead and follow the right way...the way of knowledge. Carl Sagan will never die.

Summary: Incredible and timeless.
Review: Well-written and fun to read, this book is a great exploration of the questions man has about his world, past, present, and future. Each chapter can stand alone, though I was never willing to put the book down at the end of one. He did an incredible job of making advanced science available to the layman; his ideas have shaped our learning for so long, and it is easy to see why. The book is creative, provocative, and it makes you think more about your world than you ever thought you could.

Summary: Carl Sagan is THE BEST EVER!
Review: Beautiful, clear, understandable, and shimmering science. Cosmos is a must read for everyone with deep intellect and love for learning. It is by no means explained in high level terms, but Sagan doesn't need those! I felt 50 percent more wise after reading this book. I've read all his works and this is the best by far. The book is a magnificent master piece full of wonder and enchantment, more exiting than a thiller, explosivley more informative and interesting than any science book! - Mitchell Frost Age 12, high level achiever with Sagan as a role model. I AM NO ATHEIST!

Summary: CARL SAGAN, ONE OF THESE PERSONS WHO NEVER SHOULD DIE.
Review: Carl Sagan is the answer for the people who is able of watching farer. He always tried to explain the knowledge with simple words. Sagan became the knowledge a funny play. Really he was a wise person!!!. I'm sure Sagan will be always remembered in the future like one of the men that opened the path for the route of the man to the stairs.

Summary: A Great book on everything on Earth, our Galaxy and beyond.
Review: Cosmos is a not a science book, it is about everthing that relates to our universe. Through its thirteen chapters, it tells the tales of human origin, scientific discoveries and space explorations of human. Many passages reflect strongly the beliefs and opinions of Carl Sagan (his faith on science as the true pathway to understanding the cosmos, his distaste of our own self-destructive instincts and mostly his sence of the insignificance of the human race against the universe), which I personally think is the most interesting and thought-provoking part of the book. All in all a GREAT book to read and treasure. Its one of those books which you borrowed it first from library, and then bought your own copy just because it's simply a book to own!

Summary: Give this book to your kids after you've read it!
Review: I have read a number of very, very good popularisations of science including some by Dawkins, Hawking, Gould, Diamond, Asimov etc. But none are as accessible as Sagan's works. Cosmos is the book that has most influenced my life as it gave me the "love of learning". This love is the most precious gift I have ever received and it inspires me to try to give it to others. I am amazed that I still own my original copy as I have given it away to so many people encouraging them to read. Cosmos should be compulsory reading for all 15 year olds. If it had been there would have been no need for Mr Sagan's last book about the shocking rise of ignorance and pseudoscience in our society. If you read only one book in your life, this is the one. If you read frequently, you have no excuse for missing this book.

Summary: Everything that ever was, is, or will be in less than 300pgs
Review: After reading Cosmos you'll feel like a new "informed" man. By far the best book on the subject. Everything is explained in such a way that even the layman can understand. Ever wounderd about black holes, relitvity or extraterrestrials, then this the book for you.
