| Summary: |
Review: |
Rating: |
| "The trick is to know... |
which books to read," says Carl Sagan in one of the episodes of Cosmos.
This dvd collection is the one you want to watch if you have to choose from all the science themed dvd collections available.
Curiously not outdated though it was produced over a quarter of a century ago, this series isn't simply a tour of the cosmos but rather a synthesis of several disiplines in an attempt to show our place in the past, present and future of this thing we call the universe.
If you aren't left with a feeling of awe after viewing the 13 episodes, you never will be. |

| Very enlightening |
Watching this series was the most memorable and best thing I ever did while in public school, and I didn't do it until my senior year. It's nearly 30 years old now, but is more relevant now than it was back then, and that fact is with me every day. Carl Sagan was a great man, and I hope he has found peace somewhere out there. |

| Brilliant! |
Carl Sagan's book and TV series called Cosmos has opened the vast universe to millions and millions of people. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and watching the series.
It is not surprising that Cosmos is the best-selling science book ever published in the English language...and the series has been seen by half a billion people!
Carl Sagan was able to accomplish this feat by tapping into his psyche as a little boy who asked many questions about the universe. He then wrote and produced the series from the heart. His enthusiasm and fascination with the earth, planets, stars, galaxies, extraterrestrial life and more is contagious! He took an incredibly difficult subject and made it fun, exciting and educational for anyone from 8 to 80 who has looked up at the night skies...and wondered.
The book and series are not to be missed!

| "For Carl..." |
After countless near-misses in literature and art (including a movie that regrettably missed the mark after Carl died early into production,) this precisely pierced my soul and my fundamental source of joy in life. Look beyond the turtleneck and the age of the film; the fundamental wonder of existence is timeless. And this series demonstrates this more than anything I have ever seen.
There is so much wonder and beauty in the universe...an infinite puzzle stretching out in every dimension. Yet even this is superseded by our gift to reflect upon it; moreover, to discover even deeper wonder the harder we look and the more we learn. It is too easy to take the miraculous for granted (or substitute it with lesser creations of our own mind.)
"There is more to heaven and earth than is dreamt of in your philosophy." Thank you Carl...through this series you reminded me (and countless others) of this, and that I [*we*] are not alone... |

| Maravilloso!!!! |
Simplemente maravilloso, tenía años deseando ver la serie de nuevo. Gracias a Cosmos y al Dr. Sagan me enganché de la astronomía y en general de la ciencia... hoy disfruto en mi tiempo libre con mi telescopio descubriendo las maravillas que puede ofrecer el cielo nocturno.
Cosmos marcó a una generación, a mí generación y estoy profundamente agradecida por lo que aprendí de esta serie y que ahora puedo disfrutar nuevamente y cuando quiera! |
