A fascinating book on the joys of discovering how the world works, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cosmos and Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors.

"Magnificent... Delightful... A masterpiece. A message of tremendous hope for humanity... While ever conscious that human folly can terminate man's march into the future, Sagan nonetheless paints for us a mind-boggling future: intelligent robots, the discovery of extraterrestrial life and its consequences, and above all the challenge and pursuit of the mystery of the universe." -- Chicago Tribune

"Go out and buy this book, because Carl Sagan is not only one of the world's most respected scientists, he's a great writer... I can give a book no greater accolade than to say I'm planning on reading it again. And again. And again." -- The Miami Herald

"The brilliant astronomer... is persuasive, provocative and readable." -- United Press International

"Closely reasoned, impeccably researched, gently humorous, utterly devastating." -- The Washington Post
