Book Reviews of Cosmos
Book Review: glorious
Summary: 5 Stars
i cant describe how much i enjoyed this book. it describes the evolution of the solar system, of life, of civilization, and of science. it explains what humanity knew and didnt know at different points in our history, and the astounding contribution of different men and women to that knowledge. i have been fascinated by astronomy since the age of 5, but i have never had such a clear mental picture of the ridiculous scope and breadth of our universe. i dont believe i have ever been more satisfied after reading a book. the best damn 5 or 6 dollars i have ever spent. there isnt a person alive i dont recommend this to. i encourage you to purchase this book, it may show you how futile and feeble our everyday desires are.Book Review: one of the most fascinating and interesting books ever
Summary: 5 Stars
In this book Sagan does a masterful job of explaining the universe. He makes a very complicated subject both understandable and interesting. I definitely recommend this book to anyone that's ever looked up into the sky and wondered what's out there or likewise pondered the question of how humanlife began.Book Review: outstanding and a big thumps up

Summary: 5 Stars
This is an incredible book, even if it is dated. I am a words person, not numbers, so when Sagan got into a lot of equations and chemistry, I had to kind of skim over those parts. I never could have understood them, and if I'd tried to force myself to, I probably would have gotten frustrated and gave up on the book. So I stuck with the parts (happily, that was most of it) I could absorb and easily understand. There were so many fascinating aspects to it that I would have missed had I given up over the math. This book is capable of starting you on a journey. It has made me find a book on Alexandria, which I am just starting. There is a fascinating history there, and I will continue on with books on da Vinci and Einstein. They are men I've heard about, of course, but never has my curiosity about them been so piqued. Being a book lover, the Library of Alexandria is something I want to learn more about. This book will make you want to learn more about a lot of things.
