Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, charts and drawings. Second Printing. "A fitting legacy to a premier popularizer of science." - San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle. "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, exploring 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 spirituality 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." - from the rear outer cover. "Eloquent and haunting. Whether the topic is mankind's residual hunting impulses, the remembered smell of the electric transformer on his boyhood train, global warming, or life on Mars, Sagan is quick with a telling metaphor and vivid images." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "The last chapter, 'In the Valley of the Shadows,' is Sagan's last testament to the deeply thoughtful and humane philosophy he remained faithful to until death. It is a more personal view than Sagan often gave his readers, and it is much to be treasured for that." - The New York Times.
