This is an excellent book. It is written in Sagan's clear and readable style. Chapter 36, 37, 38 provide the big picture of how we got here, from Big Bang to Human beings.

Carl Sagan never fails to inspire. This book is no exception.
LibraryThing member datrappert
A bit dated by now, but with its combination of Sagan's always engaging writing and copious illustrations this was an entertaining and highly educational read.
