RETURNING TO TELEVISION AS AN ALL-NEW MINISERIES ON FOX

Cosmos is one of the bestselling science books of all time. In clear-eyed prose, Sagan reveals a jewel-like blue world inhabited by a life form that is just beginning to discover its own identity and to venture into the vast ocean of space. Cosmos retraces the fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution that have transformed matter into consciousness, exploring such topics as the origin of life, the human brain, Egyptian hieroglyphics, spacecraft missions, the death of the Sun, the evolution of galaxies, and the forces and individuals who helped to shape modern science.

"Brilliant in its scope and provocative in its suggestions . . . shimmers with a sense of wonder."The Miami Herald

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Carl Sagan

Carl Sagan (1934-1996) foi Professor de Astronomia e Ciências Espaciais e diretor do Laboratório de Estudos Planetários da Universidade de Cornell; foi também cientista convidado no Jet Propulsion Laboratory e no California Institute of Technology e cofundador e presidente da Planetary Society, a mais importante do mundo dedicada a questões espaciais.
Ao longo da sua vida, recebeu inúmeros prémios (Prémio Pulitzer, inúmeras medalhas da NASA, o Prémio Apollo, o Prémio Masursky e a Medalha do Bem-Estar Público da Academia Nacional de Ciências dos Estados Unidos). Um asteroide, o 2709, foi batizado com o seu nome. Ao conceder-lhe o prémio mais elevado, a Academia Nacional de Ciências dos Estados Unidos observou: «Ninguém jamais conseguiu transmitir a maravilha, o entusiasmo e a alegria da ciência tão bem quanto Carl Sagan... A sua capacidade de captar a atenção de milhões de pessoas e de explicar conceitos complexos de forma acessível é uma conquista magnífica.»
