Reviews"In the breadth of its scope and the magnitude of its imagination... Possible Worlds is a triumphant return to scale, and a direct challenge to a humanity that seems to have lost its will to confront and overcome the problems that face it. It encompasses astronomy, neuroscience, quantum physics, the origins of life, the future of space flight, nuclear weaponry, alternate intelligence models, cosmology, archaeology, anthropology, and biochemistry in the breathtaking course of its 370 richly illustrated pages, all driven by Druyan's approachable but grand prose that urges us to find in ourselves the intellectual courage to truly know who we are, where we came from, and what possible futures stretch out before us." -Women You Should Know

SynopsisCosmos: Possible Worlds is the next saga of the thrilling odyssey that Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan began together. Druyan's Emmy Award-and Peabody Award-winning Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey is a global phenomenon, shown in 181 countries around the planet. Now, with Possible Worlds, Druyan continues the electrifying adventure that will take you across the grand sweep of 14 billion years of cosmic evolution and into the most intimate hidden recesses of nature. Here are never-before-told stories of fearless questioners whose searching-even at the ultimate cost-gave us the vast universe that we are just beginning to know. In this captivating book, Druyan envisions the inspiring future that we can still have on this world-if we awaken in time to use our science and high technology with wisdom. Get ready to set sail for the stars! Book jacket., This sequel to Carl Sagan's blockbuster continues the electrifying journey through space and time, connecting with 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.
