Carl Sagan's Cosmic Connection（ISBN=9780521783033） mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

　　In 1973, Carl Sagan published The Cosmic Connection, a daring

view of the universe, which rapidly became a classic work of

popular science and inspired a generation of scientists and

enthusiasts. This seminal work is reproduced here for a whole new

generation to enjoy. In Sagan's typically lucid, lyrical style, he

discusses many topics from astrophysics and solar system science,

to colonization of other worlds, terraforming and the search for

extraterrestrials. Sagan conveys his own excitement and wonder, and

relates the revelations of astronomy to the most profound human

problems and concerns: issues that are just as valid today as they

were 30 years ago. New to this edition are Freeman Dyson's comments

on Sagan's vision and the importance of the work, Ann Druyan's

assessment of Sagan's cultural significance as a champion of

science, and David Morrison's discussion of the advances made since

1973 and what became of Sagan's predictions.

· Contains scientific updates and new material by world-class

scientists David Morrison and Freeman Dyson · Includes a new

书籍介绍

In 1973, Carl Sagan published The Cosmic Connection, a daring view of the universe, which rapidly became a classic work of popular science and inspired a generation of scientists and enthusiasts. This seminal work is reproduced here for a whole new generation to enjoy. In Sagan's typically lucid, lyrical style, he discusses many topics from astrophysics and solar system science, to colonization of other worlds, terraforming and the search for extraterrestrials. Sagan conveys his own excitement and wonder, and relates the revelations of astronomy to the most profound human problems and concerns: issues that are just as valid today as they were 30 years ago. New to this edition are Freeman Dyson's comments on Sagan's vision and the importance of the work, Ann Druyan's assessment of Sagan's cultural significance as a champion of science, and David Morrison's discussion of the advances made since 1973 and what became of Sagan's predictions.
