| | Amazon.co.uk: Cosmos: Books: Carl Sagan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | While this book was published in 1980 to be a companion to the television series, there is nonetheless a certain timelessness about it. |
 | | Sagan begins the book with a grand tour of the universe, starting at the outermost edges with quasars and unknowns, and travelling back through galaxies and stars, passing interesting objects such as nebulae, fl holes, stellar nurseries, planetary systems, finally to arrive back on earth, the unique planet (from our perspective) because it has life. |
 | | The description and explanation of the cosmos and its elements, its distances, its sizes and its continuous reaction, movement and change are inspiring. |
