About this listen

In the final book of his astonishing career, Carl Sagan brilliantly examines the burning questions of our lives, our world, and the universe around us. These luminous, entertaining essays travel both the vastness of the cosmos and the intimacy of the human mind, posing such fascinating questions as how did the universe originate and how will it end, and how can we meld science and compassion to meet the challenges of the coming century? Here, too, is a rare, private glimpse of Sagan's thoughts about love, death, and God as he struggled with fatal disease. Ever forward-looking and vibrant with the sparkle of his unquenchable curiosity, Billions & Billions is a testament to one of the great scientific minds of our day.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A last stroke of intellectual brilliance from our late friend, Carl Sagan.

A substantially pragmatic and down to earth approach to how things are around the world and how much better they could actually be or become thanks to our distancing from prejudice, fundamentalism and rigid mindsets.

Carl is definitely one of those people I would love to bring back to life, even if in a digital form, should we ever, as a species, have the ability to do so.

Thank you Carl Sagan for yet another eye opening and mind expanding experience.
