Summary: outstanding and a big thumps up
Review: "...remarkable for what there is of it." -- that's what G.K. Chesterton said of George Bernard Shaw's agnostic arguments. How in the cosmos can a brilliant mind like Sagan's miss the notion of a Supreme Being behind it all. Talk about improbability of it all, and then hang it on the laws of probability. Who wrote the laws? Nonetheless, a marvelous book with "billions and billions" of reasons to read it and examine conclusions Sagan could not.

Summary: Look at the stars in a whole new way
Review: Carl Sagan uses a boyish excitement that comes through the pages to explain Astronomies greatest hits since man was in a cave. Some of the concepts explained are fairly heavy but he does an excellent job of breaking them down into a digestable format for anyone with a high school education.

Summary: Brilliant Book!!
Review: This book was brilliant. Sagan had a way of explaining science to young students and making it meaningful. We need more teachers like Carl in the future. It will be good for the country.Jeffrey McAndrew

Summary: For Everyone
Review: In his book, Dr. Sagan takes the reader on a tour of the universe and a ride through time that belittles our existence but at the same time reveres it. But Dr. Sagan does not forget who he is writing for. One of the ideas behind the unbelievably popular companion tv show of Cosmos was that the general public is more interested in and capable of understanding science than it is given credit for. As such, Cosmos is a book anyone can pick up and enjoy, yet it remains intelligent throughout. If someone would want to find a place to begin understanding the history and life of our universe and our place in it, then this book is that place.

Summary: Ranks up there with the Bible
Review: Like the Holy Bible, Cosmos is epic work. Cosmos takes the reader from the dawn of Human creation to the twighlight of our future. Carl Sagan is the master at tranfering his passions to the reader. Not only did I gain and appreciation of the world around me but I gained a new perspective on man's place in the Universe.
