Review: Cosmos

Cosmos by Carl Sagan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a classic that has aged remarkably well, considering it's about scientific discoveries and it's 40 years old. I love Sagan's contagious passion. It's a bit sad to hear how optimistic he is about the near future. I can't help thinking we've disappointed him, even though some of his wishes have come true (Mars Rover, etc.) in the meantime. All in all, this book is an excellent overview of pretty much everything, and still very readable.
