## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    We need a contemporary Dr. Sagan.
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2018*

Dr. Sagan does it again in his last book. This one, a bit more user friendly and science light, is a wonderful read. I couldn't put it down and was borderline in tears towards the end (coming from someone rife with defense mechanisms). We really need the revival of compassionate skepticism that Dr. Sagan's prose is the master of.Pros: for the layman, wonderfully informative, reads easy, so much wisdom and compassion.Cons: if you've read all his others there will be overlap, but that never hurts. It's kind of emotionally heavy, which again, isn't necessarily bad.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Thought Provoking and Inspirational
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2015*

Carl Sagan's last book inspires, provokes, entertains and informs. Although much of the material is dated, each article has a theme that is much more important than the information it contains, and not at all dated. How should we approach the questions of abortion, climate change, military spending, the threat of nuclear war, faith, reason, education, equality, politics, love, life and death?  Carl has been my inspiration since 1980. I can't see a day when his musings won't inspire me. While Carl is my hero, I don't accept all of his assertions and conclusions, and Carl would approve. Republicans as a party are anti-science, but I would not put that label on someone for being conservative as he does.  Shouldn't military spending be viewed as a percentage of a country's GDP rather than just dollars?  Isn't the presence of brain activity just as arbitrary as any measurable property of a fetus in considering the ethics of abortion?  While I don't always agree with him, I do appreciate him tackling the hardest of questions. That he does so respectfully and compassionately is inspiring. I miss him every day.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2022*

This book is excellent on several levels: Scientific,  Cultural, Historical, Philosophical, and on the human condition in our perilous and tentative world.Carl Sagan writes more clearly than any scientific writer I have read.  His prose is a pleasure to read.The Epilogue, written by his wife [Annie] captures Dr. Sagan's honesty, dedication, and courage at the very end of his life...  >5 stars!P.S.  If you haven't read Sagan's Pulitzer Prize winner: " Dragons of Eden,"  you will thank me for recommending it...
