Product Details

Author: WILLIAM POUNDSTONE

Publisher: AKAL

Year: 2015

Carl Sagan was an outstanding scientist and an exceptional communicator. Legions of people of all ages followed his books, classes, lectures, articles and television series. His scientific and informational interests ranged from planetary astronomy to extraterrestrial life, from international politics to astronautics, from pacifism to science fiction.

In this captivating biography of Carl Sagan, William Poundstone details how a young astronomer, passionate about science and obsessed with the search for life on other worlds, transforms himself into a bona fide media superstar. The instantly recognizable Sagan, a must-see TV guest and extraordinarily successful writer, opened the door for laymen to the mysteries of both the cosmos and science in general. Much of the scientific community saw in him, however, a pariah, a shameless publicity-seeker who cared more about his image and fortune than the advancement of science. Poundstone reveals and rigorously documents the rarely treated aspects of Sagan's life: the legitimate and important work at the beginning of his scientific career, his almost obsessive capacity to embark on endless projects -such as the search for extraterrestrial life-, his marital adventures and misadventures, the vicissitudes of his academic ambition and his connections with other famous people such as Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke or Steven Spielberg.

This book is an essential reference for all those who followed his career during his lifetime and who still admire him.
