书籍介绍

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.

Praise for *Cosmos

“Magnificent . . . With a lyrical literary style, and a range that touches almost all aspects of human knowledge, Cosmos often seems too good to be true.”*—The Plain Dealer

“Sagan is an astronomer with one eye on the stars, another on history, and a third—his mind’s—on the human condition.”—Newsday

“Brilliant in its scope and provocative in its suggestions . . . shimmers with a sense of wonder.”*—The Miami Herald

“Sagan dazzles the mind with the miracle of our survival, framed by the stately galaxies of space.”—Cosmopolitan

“Enticing . . . iridescent . . . imaginatively illustrated.”*—The New York Times Book Review

用户评论
我以为你要跟我讲理论,结果你跟我讲历史
一本让我看完以后想鼓掌的书
需要重新看一遍中文版。
爸爸送我的书,看了好久。以为单纯讲宇宙,结果发现理化生历史全都有,不愧是小谢尔顿万圣节都要装扮的人。一直喜欢宇宙的一个点,是你看到过自己多渺小,才会觉得很多东西太不值得计较,人类的生命原本就是一瞬时的奇迹,那当然越精彩越好
没想到我的三观被小小的启发了一下。所以这书对我很重要。
诗般语句而又震撼心灵
大哭
非常感恩能遇到并读完这样触及心灵深处的文字。萨根的专业知识自不必谈,他的人文情怀和笔触每每让我眼角发热。觉得倍滋养,同时产生无限遐想和感叹。他是cosmopolitan 宇宙人。
