About this listen

This new and long-awaited sequel to Carl Sagan's international best seller continues the electrifying journey through space and time, linking worlds within and worlds billions of miles away and envisioning a future of science tempered with wisdom.

Based on National Geographic's internationally renowned television series, this groundbreaking and visually stunning book explores how science and civilization grew up together. From the emergence of life at deep-sea vents to solar-powered starships sailing through the galaxy, from the Big Bang to the intricacies of intelligence in many life forms, acclaimed author Ann Druyan documents where humanity has been and where it is going, using her unique gift of bringing complex scientific concepts to life. With evocative photographs and vivid illustrations, she recounts momentous discoveries, from the Voyager missions in which she and her husband, Carl Sagan, participated to Cassini-Huygens's recent insights into Saturn's moons. This breathtaking sequel to Sagan's masterpiece explains how we humans can glean a new understanding of consciousness here on Earth and out in the cosmos - again reminding us that our planet is a pale blue dot in an immense universe of possibility.

A wonderful continuation of the work of Carl, Steve and Anne. Anne's passion for the science and philosophy, together with her love and admiration of Carl, and her own humility, shine out. Anne is a person of enormous skill and her work should be widely known and understood

Great listen and very well put together argument - I never did see the planet that way and it is a very different subject area for me -“way beyond my ken” as they say, until now at least…

I have read many popular science books. This is an excellent example of a history of pivotal moments in science history presented with the people and the emotions intact.
