Summary: This book is unique
Review: I grew up with this book and it's a kind of scientific Bible for me. A must-have for anybody interesting in science, understanding our universe or just simply enjoying the beauty of our world. I would turn the book into a textbook for our sons at school.

Summary: An excellent starter book on the wonders of cosmology.
Review: Sagan targets a general audience with this magnificent work! He presents the topics in a very clear and entertaining readable manner and makes them easy to understand. Isaac Asimov couldn't do a better job! This great work will stimulate many people to pursue a further quest for knowledge in science and cosmology.

Summary: It will forever change the way you view the world
Review: Simply incredible, this book will take you on a journey that travels back and forth through the history and the future of science. With poetic grace, it explains the cosmos in a way i would not have though possible, and revealed things, not just things but Truth! The actuality of the universe, cleverly placed within the pages of a masterpiece.

Summary: Unique
Review: This book changed my life. I studied science for over 10 years, and now I teach science (to High school kids) because of this book. My parents bought me Cosmos when I was an 11-year old (the same year the book was originally published) and I have been reading it ever since. I like to think I'm a decent teacher, but Dr. Sagan was a master. Students of all disciplines can learn from this remarkable text; Carl Sagan's passion for understanding and his various commitments to human welfare shine out like a beacon. If you have teenage kids, but them this book.

Summary: one of the most fascinating and interesting books ever
Review: In this book Sagan does a masterful job of explaining the universe. He makes a very complicated subject both understandable and interesting. I definitely recommend this book to anyone that's ever looked up into the sky and wondered what's out there or likewise pondered the question of how humanlife began.

Summary: Un libro racional
Review: Admiro la destreza con que Carl Sagan transmitÃa sus conocimientos y teorÃas. Cosmos es uno de mis libros favoritos, exalta la ciencia racional sin subestimar las creencias religiosas.

Summary: Life is Precious.
Review: If every human on Earth read this book. It might make them think about how important life is, causing violence and hate to stop. We are all equal on this planet. I now have a new outlook on life and how small we really are.

Summary: You can never be the same again after you read it !
Review: I am a great fan of Sagan's. There has not been a book by him which I have not read. There are reasons for it. The poetic eloquence of a live being who makesyou feel the majesty and beauty of the world, the cosmos, the skies, the earth. The beauty of being alive and being able to enjoy. I do not believe I can do justice to it in words. The experience of reading it is totally transforming! There will always be better books, so I give this one four stars. But those who can appreciate better books can never ignore this one. If it were not all about science, if Sagan has been a novelist, it could have garnered half a Nobel for literature. But this book makes you think and feel and makes you be glad you are alive, live in a Cosmos vast beyond any imagination and glad you live in the same century Sagan lived!

Summary: This book is brilliant ! ! !
Review: Carl Sagan's Cosmos, tells the strory of 15 billion years of cosmic history like no one else can. The book shows how broad and deep Carl's interests extend and draws the reader into a world of fascination. Although the book is primarily about how science has developed in our society the book touches on subjects such as history, philosophy, religion, cultures and so fourth. The book is written in simple terms and is understandable to those without a background in science. Carl has an amazing ability to write with such enthusiasim and sincerity. Although the book was written at the height of the cold war it reflects an overall optimisim and hope for our species and planet. Carl Sagan is a remarkable human being and humanitarian as is reflected in all of his books. Cosmos is in some way his manifesto and I believe his best book. Carl's death was a loss not just to science but also to our species. Carl Sagan is my favourite author and Cosmos my favourite book. I recommend Cosmos to all of those who can read! *****!!!

Summary: An absolutely magnificient book from my favorite author.
Review: The other five star reviews have probably said all I would want to say in a complete review. So, bluntly, I recomend this book to anyone who has any interst, any interest at all, in the Universe and the past & future of the human race in relation to this Universe.
