Book Reviews of Cosmos
Book Review: A timeless, thought provoking MASTERPIECE!
Summary: 5 Stars
'Cosmos' is surely one of the best books EVER. The wondrous cosmological mysteries and large questions of mankind are covered and expounded upon with humility and great inquisitiveness. The origins and vastness of our universe, time and space, and our own place in the galaxy and universe will really drive home the folly of war and other forms of violence we perpetrate against each other irrationally (in many cases in the name of religion or race such as 9/11). This great book should be a 'must read' in every high school science classroom.Book Review: A work of art!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Carl Sagan is a wonderful writer in the sense that he takes very complex subjects such as einstein's theory of relativity and makes it very easiily understandable to the layman. He has such a passion for his work, that he is able to draw people into his world with his wonderful examples and descriptions. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested even in the least bit about the universe. If i could, i would rate this book a 6! It is just that good.Book Review: AWESOME [brilliant]
Summary: 5 Stars
Before Cosmos, I used to live on earth. After Cosmos, I live on earth, in the milky way galaxy, in this vast and ever-expanding (and maybe contarcting) universe!Book Review: Absolutely fascinating.
Summary: 5 Stars
I would definitely reccomend this book to any reader who feels compelled to understand the universe in which they live. Never before have I absorbed so much knowledge from a book. Unlike reading a boring textbook, Carl Sagan has taken all things we automatically think of as "nerdy" and "intellectual" and made them accessible to readers, without regards to their background in science. I strongly recomend this book.Book Review: Amazing Again
Summary: 4 Stars
Having now read both Cosmos & Pale Blue Dot I can't help thinking on the drive home how precious life is, and how amazing our cities, our countries and our planet would look from above to another civilization. Carl Sagan has left me with the lingering thought, "Could we be the first civilisation that has actually evolved into a form of intelligent life since the Big Bang, and if so, why are we so stupid?"
