Synopsis "Cosmos "

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. Featuring a new Introduction by Sagan's collaborator, Ann Druyan, full color illustrations, and a new Foreword by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, 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

Carl Edward Sagan (New York, November 9, 1934-Seattle, December 20, 1996) was an American astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist, astrobiologist, writer, and science communicator. Initially, he was an associate professor at Harvard University and later became the principal professor at Cornell University. At the latter, he was the first scientist to hold the David Duncan Professorship of Astronomy and Space Sciences, established in 1976, and was also the director of the Laboratory for Planetary Studies.

He was an advocate for scientific skeptical thinking and the scientific method, a pioneer of exobiology, and a promoter of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence through the SETI project. He encouraged sending messages aboard space probes, intended to inform potential extraterrestrial civilizations about human culture. Through his observations of the atmosphere of Venus, he was among the first scientists to study the greenhouse effect on a planetary scale.

Carl Sagan gained great popularity thanks to the award-winning documentary television series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, produced in 1980, of which he was the narrator and co-author. It was the most-watched series in the history of American public television, with an audience of more than 500 million people in about 60 countries. To accompany the series, the book Cosmos was published. He also wrote the 1985 science fiction novel Contact, which was the basis for the eponymous 1997 film. His publications, which contain 595,000 articles, are archived in the Library of Congress.

He also published numerous scientific articles, and was the author, co-author, or editor of more than twenty popular science books. In 1978, he won the Pulitzer Prize for "General Non-Fiction Literature" for his book The Dragons of Eden.

Throughout his life, Sagan received numerous awards and honors for his work as a communicator of science and culture. Today, he is considered one of the most charismatic and influential science communicators, thanks to his ability to convey scientific ideas and cultural aspects to the general public with simplicity yet rigor.

Pensé que era una versión grande, con las ilustraciones como en la versión original. Y no. Es tamaño pequeño y con menos ilustraciones. Sigue siendo un excelente libro, pero lo compré, aunque estuviera en inglés, por las imágenes (que no trae)... =(

Tapa 1/5, contenido 5/5, tamaño de letra e interlineado 5/5. La tapa es demasiado delgada sin ningun acabado particular, sin embargo todo lo demás me pareció bastante bien, llegó sin plástico pero en muy buenas condiciones. Tiene 16 páginas de fotografías a color en papel couché en la parte central del libro, no debe ser confundido con la versión ilustrada de la editorial Planeta, ya que este libro contiene más lectura que imágenes, su tamaño es de 13.2x20.2x2.5cm. Tardó 6 semanas en llegar pero dentro del plazo estimado. Un libro indispensable para cualquier interesado en cosmología y astronomía.
