Comet begins with a breathtaking journey through space astride a comet. Pulitzer Prize-winning astronomer Carl Sagan, author of Cosmos and Contact, and writer Ann Druyan explore the origin, nature, and future of comets, and the exotic myths and portents attached to them. The authors show how comets have spurred some of the great discoveries in the history of science and raise intriguing questions about these brilliant visitors from the interstellar dark.
Were the fates of the dinosaurs and the origins of humans tied to the wanderings of a comet?

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 10
World renowned scientist Carl Sagan and acclaimed author Ann Druyan have written a Roots for the human species, a lucid and riveting account of how humans got to be the way we are. It shows with humor and drama that many of our key traits - self-awareness, technology, family ties, submission to authority, hatred for those a little different from ourselves, reason, and ethics - are rooted in the deep past, and illuminated by our kinship with other animals.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“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)
“Closely reasoned, impeccably researched, gently humorous, utterly devastating.” (The Washington Post)

loved the book and it's narration!!!
Carl Sagan's explanation of how he sees the passage of time on this Earth is incredible. His interruption on past beliefs of others is enlightening too.
Dion Graham's narration, with all his emotional backing, is utterly superb!!! You can feel all of what we'd expect if Carl Sagan had narrated it himself!!

Excellent but a little dated
Love Carl Sagan, but I can’t help but drop a couple of stars as the content becomes a little dated and therefore somewhat less interesting to read 40+ years later.
