"FASCINATING . . . MEMORABLE . . . REVEALING . . . PERHAPS THE BEST OF CARL SAGAN''S BOOKS." --The Washington Post Book World (front page review)

In Cosmos, the late astronomer Carl Sagan cast his gaze over the magnificent mystery of the Universe and made it accessible to millions of people around the world. Now in this stunning sequel, Carl Sagan completes his revolutionary journey through space and time.

Future generations will look back on our epoch as the time when the human race finally broke into a radically new frontier--space. In Pale Blue Dot Sagan traces the spellbinding history of our launch into the cosmos and assesses the future that looms before us as we move out into our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond. The exploration and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy nor luxury, insists Sagan, but rather a necessary condition for the survival of the human race.

"TAKES READERS FAR BEYOND Cosmos . . . Sagan sees humanity''s future in the stars." --Chicago Tribune

It's hard for me to understand why some people are posting comments about the audio quality. I love this book, and I especially LOVE the fact that we get to hear Carl Sagan and his wife Ann Druyan's actual voices doing the narration.

While it would be great if they were able to recover the entire original audio, I'm so grateful they not only recovered some of it, but chose to let Ann read the rest. There is no better substitute for Carl Sagan than Ann Druyan.

A national treasure, LOVE the narration!
