　　In 1973, Carl Sagan published The Cosmic Connection, a daring

generation to enjoy. In Sagan's typically lucid, lyrical style, he

discusses many topics from astrophysics and solar system science,

to colonization of othe***orlds, terraforming and the search for

extraterrestrials. Sagan conveys his own excitement and wonder, and

relates the revelati*** of astronomy to the most profound human

problems and concerns: issues that are just as valid today as they

were 30 years ago. New to this edition are Freeman Dyson's comments

on Sagan's vision and the importance of the work, Ann Druyan's

assessment of Sagan's cultural significance as a champion of

science, and David Morrison's discussion of the advances made since

1973 and what became of Sagan's predicti***.
