Product Description
Product Description
A respected astronomer and physicist, Sagan was a keen promoter of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). World-famous for his popular non-fiction and science fiction works, he was perhaps best known for his celebrated TV series "Cosmos". Through his writings and spoken commentary, he worked to popularize interests in astronomy, the universe, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. This interest was rooted in his understanding of the smallness and vulnerability of humanity measured against the immense size and power of the universe. This profound philosophical humility, mixed with personal exuberance, comes though in "Conversations with Carl Sagan", in which he discusses a wide variety of topics - the environment, nuclear disarmament, religion, politics, extraterrestrial life, astronomy, physics, robotics, and more.
