In clear-eyed prose, Carl 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 full-color illustrations, 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 shape modern science.

Cosmos was such a fascinating read. So many topics Sagan talks about are current to this day. Some of his predictions came true while for others the human race isn't there yet. Cosmos definitely sparked some interesting thought processes for me. At the same time it taught me new things that I hadn't realized before. It's kind of wild that this book was written 40 years ago and how much has or hasn't changed. If you are interested in human history, biology and space I would definitely give this a go!
