Winner of the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for the best science book of the year, this is a milestone in popular science writing. Carl Sagan, with his signature wonder and clarity, explores humanity's place in the universe, the potential for extraterrestrial life, and the thrilling adventures of planetary exploration. As the Denver Post noted, his "true science tales are every bit as mind-boggling as science fiction."
