Synopsis As we complete the preliminary reconnaissance of our neighborhood in space, we need a long-term over-arching vision of the human future. In this new title by "Cosmos" author Carl Sagan, he reveals how science has altered our perception of who we are and where we stand--and challenges us to weigh what we will do with that knowledge in the future.

Industry Reviews "...[Sagan] returns to familiar topics: the origin of the universe, the birth of the solar system, the development of life on Earth, the evolution and demise of stars and the prospect of life elsewhere among the galaxies. But this time he struggles to define a future for the human species after Earth, our 'pale blue dot,' and the rest of the solar system have met destruction in the dying throes of the sun." New York Times Book Review - Rudy Abramson (01/15/1995)
"Elegant and appealing...jargon-free English buoyed by emotion and humor...Sagan's optimistic vision...shines through every chapter of this handsomely illustrated book." Rosetto
"Sagan has the knack of capturing a problem's essence in a memorable sentence or revealing quotation. ...The whole book is fascinating and highly readable....Every student of science and philosophy will love it....Perhaps the best of Carl Sagan's books." Rosetto
