This is a book about Eratosthenes, Ptolemy, Kepler, Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton; about the Milky Way, about gaseous planets without a surface, and a universe of a hundred billion galaxies. It is about whirlpool galaxies and the ancient Library at Alexandria, Egypt - the place "where we humans first collected, seriously and systematically, the knowledge of the world."
Still as relevant today as it was when it first came out in 1980, Cosmos is a book that I'd recommend to anyone and everyone. Watching the original series after you read each chapter is an addition way to enjoy this incredible work by Carl Sagan.
