La obra de mayor ?xito del c?lebre divulgador de la ciencia.

Este libro, que contiene m?s de doscientas cincuenta ilustraciones a todo color verdaderamente asombrosas, est? basado en un programa de trece cap?tulos que el profesor Carl Sagan realiz? para la televisi?n. Narrado con la proverbial habilidad que ten?a para conseguir que las ideas cient?ficas fueran comprensibles y apasionantes, Cosmos trata de la ciencia en su contexto humano m?s amplio y explica c?mo se desarrolla conjuntamente con la civilizaci?n.

La obra aborda tambi?n el tema de las misiones espaciales destinadas a explorar los planetas m?s pr?ximos a la Tierra, se ocupa de la antigua Biblioteca de Alejandr?a, del cerebro humano, de los jerogl?ficos egipcios, del origen de la vida, de la muerte del Sol, de la evoluci?n de las galaxias y de los or?genes de la materia, los soles y los mundos.

Nos habla aqu? de una evoluci?n c?smica de quince mil millones de a?os que transform? la materia en vida y consciencia e hizo posible que el Cosmos se interrogara acerca de s? mismo. Se comentan tambi?n los descubrimientos sobre la vida fuera de la Tierra y c?mo podemos comunicarnos con los habitantes de otros mundos.

Sagan contemplaba nuestro planeta desde un privilegiado punto de vista extraterrestre, y lo ve?a como un mundo azul habitado por una forma de vida que apenas acaba de descubrir su propia unidad y se aventura en el vasto oc?ano del espacio.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The most successful work of the famous science communicator.

This book, which contains more than two hundred and fifty truly amazing full-color illustrations, is based on a thirteen-part television series that Professor Carl Sagan created for television. Narrated with his proverbial skill for making scientific ideas understandable and exciting, Cosmos deals with science in its broader human context and explains how it develops together with civilization.

The work also addresses the topic of space missions aimed at exploring the planets closest to Earth, delves into the ancient Library of Alexandria, the human brain, Egyptian hieroglyphs, the origin of life, the death of the Sun, the evolution of galaxies, and the origins of matter, suns, and worlds.

It speaks here of a cosmic evolution of fifteen billion years that transformed matter into life and consciousness and made it possible for the Cosmos to question itself. It also comments on discoveries about life beyond Earth and how we can communicate with the inhabitants of other worlds.

Sagan viewed our planet from a privileged extraterrestrial point of view, seeing it as a blue world inhabited by a form of life that has just discovered its own unity and is venturing into the vast ocean of space.
