Cosmos

Présentation

Carl Sagan's Cosmos remains the gold standard of science writing for everyone. Moving from the birth of stars to the origins of life, from ancient astronomers to the edge of the known universe, Sagan turns the history of science into a spellbinding story and a defence of curiosity, evidence and wonder. His gift is to make the vast feel intimate: we are, he famously reminds us, made of star-stuff. Decades on, the book's clarity, humanism and sense of awe are undimmed. A perfect first step for anyone who has ever looked up at the night sky and wanted to understand what they were seeing.
