Ce livre complète une série télévisée en treize parties, "axée principalement sur l'astronomie mais largement ouverte sur les problèmes humains". Chaque chapitre suit d'assez près l'épisode télévisé correspondant. Plusieurs illustrations proviennent des matériaux visuels du film. L'auteur est un célèbre vulgarisateur scientifique, professeur titulaire d'astronomie à l'Université Cornell.
This book and the series amazes and brings this child-like curiosity to know how things work, where we came from, and what's our tune in this majestic symphony that is life and the universe.
I deeply love it.
A journey through the universe, science & their development, brimming with passion & wonder. 50 years old but feels timeless, except nuclear angst has been replaced by climate angst.

Still as relevant today as it was when it first came out in 1980, Cosmos is a book that I'd recommend to anyone and everyone. Watching the original series after you read each chapter is an addition way to enjoy this incredible work by Carl Sagan.
