Cosmos is arguably one of the most famous science books in print, and Sagan is one of the most revered modern science educators. This book will take you into the depths of what we know about our place in the universe. It’s beautiful, humbling, and at times, mind-blowing. Sagan will surprise you, inform you, and challenge you, but he will never bore you.
