Cosmos: Possible Worlds

De: Ann Druyan

Narrado por: Ann Druyan, Jennice Ontiveros

This new and long-awaited sequel to Carl Sagan's international best seller continues the electrifying journey through space and time, linking worlds within and worlds billions of miles away and envisioning a future of science tempered with wisdom.

Based on National Geographic's internationally renowned television series, this groundbreaking and visually stunning book explores how science and civilization grew up together. From the emergence of life at deep-sea vents to solar-powered starships sailing through the galaxy, from the Big Bang to the intricacies of intelligence in many life forms, acclaimed author Ann Druyan documents where humanity has been and where it is going, using her unique gift of bringing complex scientific concepts to life. With evocative photographs and vivid illustrations, she recounts momentous discoveries, from the Voyager missions in which she and her husband, Carl Sagan, participated to Cassini-Huygens's recent insights into Saturn's moons. This breathtaking sequel to Sagan's masterpiece explains how we humans can glean a new understanding of consciousness here on Earth and out in the cosmos - again reminding us that our planet is a pale blue dot in an immense universe of possibility.

Simply terrific!

In the continuation of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos legacy Anne has done an amazing job bringing this new batch of science, history, and entertainment to the next generation. Wonderful insights and perfect narration makes these 10 or so hours fly by.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Legend of Sagan

Content Overcame Narration

Ann Druyan should have been limited to the prologue. Jennice was serviceable but I can’t help but wonder how someone like Angela Bassett would’ve come across. All-in-all with the listen.

Something Missing

This is the much needed science audiobook for people who are the type described as "a bundle of feelings." While there is some truly beautiful writing in this book, for me, it lacks the power of the original. It is not Anne Druyan's fault. She does her best here, but I think that her contributions are best served in collaborations.
