Cosmos
Published 1980.
ISBN-10: 9780345539434
ISBN-13: 978-0345539434
Description:
With a new Foreword by astrophysicist
Neil deGrasse Tyson.
This visually stunning
book with over 250 full-color illustrations, many of them never before
published, is based on Carl Sagan’s thirteen-part television series. Told with
Sagan’s remarkable ability to make scientific ideas both comprehensible and
exciting, Cosmos is about science in its broadest human context, how science
and civilization grew up together.
The book also explores
spacecraft missions of discovery of the nearby planets, the research in the
Library of ancient Alexandria, the human brain, Egyptian hieroglyphics, the
origin of life, the death of the Sun, the evolution of galaxies and the origins
of matter, suns and worlds.
Sagan retraces the
fifteen billion years of cos-mic evolution that have transformed matter into
life and consciousness, enabling the Cosmos to wonder about itself. He
considers the latest findings on life elsewhere and how we might communicate
with the beings of other worlds.
Cosmos is the story of
our long journey of discovery and the forces and individuals who helped to
shape modern science, including Democritus, Hypatia, Kepler, Newton, Huy-gens,
Champollion, Lowell and Humason.
Sagan looks at our planet from an extra-terrestrial
vantage point and sees a blue jewel-like world, inhabited by a lifeform that is
just beginning to discover its own unity and to venture into the vast ocean of
space.

Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space
Published 1994.
ISBN-10: 0345376595
ISBN-13: 978-0345376596
Description:
In Cosmos, the late
astronomer Carl Sagan cast his gaze over the magnificent mystery of the
Universe and made it accessible to millions of people around the world. Now in
this stunning sequel, Carl Sagan completes his revolutionary journey through
space and time.
Future generations will
look back on our epoch as the time when the human race finally broke into a
radically new frontier—space. In Pale Blue Dot, Sagan traces the spellbinding
history of our launch into the cosmos and assesses the future that looms before
us as we move out into our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond.
The exploration and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy
nor luxury, insists Sagan, but rather a necessary condition for the survival of
the human race.

They are home.
