Reprinting Carl Sagan鈥檚 1973 collection of essays Cosmic Connection
is doing us a favour. It鈥檚 as fresh as ever, and Sagan鈥檚 gift for clear and
stylish explanation is a delight as he opens up the wonders of space
exploration, actual and potential. Start with public reaction to the design of
the plaque sent up with Pioneer 10, which included nude figures, male and
female, and be hooked. (Some called it 鈥渟preading filth beyond the Solar
System鈥�.) Published by Cambridge University Press, 拢17.95, ISBN
