Book Reviews of Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

Book Review: Consistantly Inspiring, Refreshingly Concise
Summary: 5 Stars

Dr. Sagan's vision of humanities forward progress into unexplored frontiers, is a fascinating, and wholly inspiring read. As was always true in his life, Dr. Sagan does not shy away from questions without definite answers, and refuses to submit to pessimism. This book is an inspiring read about the next hurdle to human civilization, and how we may already posses the ability to overcome it. Pale Blue Dot is the quintessential reminder, that by embracing the best of our human nature, we may not only set foot in worlds outside our own, but repair the one that we to this very day, still call home.

I purchased this book, after stumbling across a clip of the Cosmos television series online. I had no idea that after reading his books, I would come away so inspired, and so curious.

Summary of Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

"FASCINATING . . . MEMORABLE . . . REVEALING . . . PERHAPS THE BEST OF CARL SAGAN'S BOOKS."
--The Washington Post Book World (front page review)

In Cosmos, the late astronomer Carl Sagan cast his gaze over the magnificent mystery of the Universe and made it accessible to millions of people around the world. Now in this stunning sequel, Carl Sagan completes his revolutionary journey through space and time.

Future generations will look back on our epoch as the time when the human race finally broke into a radically new frontier--space. In Pale Blue Dot Sagan traces the spellbinding history of our launch into the cosmos and assesses the future that looms before us as we move out into our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond. The exploration and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy nor luxury, insists Sagan, but rather a necessary condition for the survival of the human race.

"TAKES READERS FAR BEYOND Cosmos . . . Sagan sees humanity's future in the stars."
--Chicago Tribune
