Carl Sagan''s prophetic vision of the tragic resurgence of fundamentalism and the hope-filled potential of the next great development in human spirituality

The late great astronomer and astrophysicist describes his personal search to understand the nature of the sacred in the vastness of the cosmos. Exhibiting a breadth of intellect nothing short of astounding, Sagan presents his views on a wide range of topics, including the likelihood of intelligent life on other planets, creationism and so-called intelligent design, and a new concept of science as "informed worship." Originally presented at the centennial celebration of the famous Gifford Lectures in Scotland in 1985 but never published, this book offers a unique encounter with one of the most remarkable minds of the twentieth century.

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.»
