Billions & Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium

Product Details

In the final book of his astonishing career, Carl Sagan brilliantly examines the burning questions of our lives, our world, and the universe around us. These luminous, entertaining essays travel both the vastness of the cosmos and the intimacy of the human mind, posing such fascinating questions as how did the universe originate and how will it end, and how can we meld science and compassion to meet the challenges of the coming century? Here, too, is a rare, private glimpse of Sagan's thoughts about love, death, and God as he struggled with fatal disease. Ever forward-looking and vibrant with the sparkle of his unquenchable curiosity, Billions & Billions is a testament to one of the great scientific minds of our day.

Carl lives on among billions and billions of minds - F. Ather - Los Angeles, CA United States
An amazing book by an amazing man. Carl Sagan is one of my heroes who has shown me how breathtaking the universe is. In this book, Sagan speaks very personally about matters deep to him, issues he was engaged in during his life. He presents arguments like the Prisoner's Dilemma and his solution to the arms race.

The book ends with him talking about his last round of cancer therapy, and is then completed by his wonderful wife Ann Druyan. Though Carl is no longer with us, his memory lives on in the minds of billions of earthlings now and I hope all future generations will appreciate this great man as I do.
