À propos de cet audio
"FASCINATING . . . MEMORABLE . . . REVEALING . . . PERHAPS THE BEST OF CARL SAGAN''S BOOKS." --The Washington Post Book World (front page review)
In Cosmos, the late astronomer Carl Sagan cast his gaze over the magnificent mystery of the Universe and made it accessible to millions of people around the world. Now in this stunning sequel, Carl Sagan completes his revolutionary journey through space and time.
Future generations will look back on our epoch as the time when the human race finally broke into a radically new frontier--space. In Pale Blue Dot Sagan traces the spellbinding history of our launch into the cosmos and assesses the future that looms before us as we move out into our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond. The exploration and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy nor luxury, insists Sagan, but rather a necessary condition for the survival of the human race.
"TAKES READERS FAR BEYOND Cosmos . . . Sagan sees humanity''s future in the stars." --Chicago Tribune

How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don’t understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions.

In other words, Hawking gave us a new look at our world, our universe, and ourselves. Now, Hawking presents an even more comprehensive look at our universe, its creation, and how we see ourselves within it.

Histoire
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.

Histoire
Stoicism, a school of Hellenistic thought founded in Athens in the third century BC, was one of the most sublime philosophies in the history of Western civilization. It is a way of living that focuses on reality instead of fantasy or idealism. According to its teachings, the path to peace and happiness is found in accepting the moment as it presents itself, by not allowing oneself to be ruled by the desire for pleasure or by the fear of pain.

Histoire
The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.

Histoire
Carl Edward Sagan (November 9, 1934-December 20, 1996), born in Brooklyn, NY, was an American astronomer and astrophysicist. His best-known scientific contribution was his research on the possibility of extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by exposure to light. The following is a lecture Sagan gave in 1977 during which he discussed the place, scale and geometry of earth–the third planet from the Sun, formed 4.5 billion years ago–in our solar system.

In a time when our political and cultural views feel more polarized than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin chariots of enlightenment—a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science. After thinking deeply about how science sees the world and about Earth as a planet, the human brain has the capacity to reset and recalibrates life’s priorities, shaping the actions we might take in response. No outlook on culture, society, or civilization remains untouched.

Very interesting assessment of humanity and overview of our solar system by the renound astronomer Carl Sagan. The book swings between wide brushstroke ideas to tedious details which makes some chapters more interesting than others

Fantastic!
I know many reviewers don't seem too happy how much of this is read by Druyan, but I think she's great. Her voice is not prolific, but she has a passion for her late husband's work that touched me through the speakers. This was my first Audible purchase and it inspired many more.

My first audio book from Audible
I have always been a fan of Dr Carl Sagan. I have most of his books and writings in paperback. Despite the fact that I have already read this several times over, the enjoyment you get from the story being told to you is different. Some people prefer reading. Some people prefer listening. I definitely enjoy both. A narrative gives me a slightly different perspective of the actual story. There are also some nuances that you are only able to catch when you listen instead of read. This is definitely a must-have download even if you have read the book by itself.

Great book, ok narrator
This classic book on space technology and planetary exploration now serves as a record of the state of these endeavors late in the 20th century. A great listen now during the renaissance of rocket development and ambitions to return to the moon - and beyond.
My only disappointment is that more of the book isn't narrated by Mr. Sagan.

50/50
Excellent book. 2nd half narration detracts from the experience unfortunately. The stark difference between the deep melodic and almost hypnotic tone of Carl’s voice is replaced by the unfortunately nasal and squeaky tone of his well intentioned wife. Perhaps Brian Cox instead for any future release?

Read by Ann Druyan featuring Carl Sagan
I've read this before and heard the audio version before. every time it's awesome. this new audible version however is maybe 15% read by Carl. the rest is Ann Druyan. nothing against her, she did a great job, it's still a great listen, but she is not Carl. so it was disappointing that the audio was not good enough and we got so little Carl Sagan. they should be more up front about it. I clicked the preview heard Carl's majestic voice and then clicked buy.

Bit of a bait and switch
Carl Sagan only narrates the first couple of chapters, then Ann Druyan takes over for the vast majority of the book. She is very soft spoken, and hard to hear/understand at low volumes and if there is any other noise in the environment. she is not an ideal narrator for an audiobook, unfortunately.

Needed more Karl
Though there was lots of useful information and what could have been very inspiring stories and anecdotes. the narration of Anna duryan was too excited, too often, about too many things, ultimately muting any moments of significance in the book. I'm on chapter 16 and am having trouble justifying finishing the rest.
