You have a friend in Sagan
Sagan was a literal genius, though had had ability to present extremely complex notions and make them accessible to people who are not science nerds/geeks. All without over simplification - treating the reader with grace and respect. He allows the universe to be relative. Relational and interesting.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Listen to Socrates
"There is only one evil, ignorance and there is only one good, knowledge." The cosmos is full of facts and mystery but is without one drop of magic.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
