RETURNING TO TELEVISION AS AN ALL-NEW MINISERIES ON FOX
Cosmos is one of the bestselling science books of all time. In clear-eyed prose, Sagan reveals a jewel-like blue world inhabited by a life form that is just beginning to discover its own identity and to venture into the vast ocean of space.
Cosmos retraces the fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution that have transformed matter into consciousness, exploring such topics as the origin of life, the human brain, Egyptian hieroglyphics, spacecraft missions, the death of the Sun, the evolution of galaxies, and the forces and individuals who helped to shape modern science.
Praise for Cosmos
"Magnificent . . . With a lyrical literary style, and a range that touches almost all aspects of human knowledge,
Cosmos often seems too good to be true."
—The Plain Dealer
"Sagan is an astronomer with one eye on the stars, another on history, and a third—his mind's—on the human condition."
—Newsday
"Brilliant in its scope and provocative in its suggestions . . . shimmers with a sense of wonder."
—The Miami Herald
"Sagan dazzles the mind with the miracle of our survival, framed by the stately galaxies of space."
—Cosmopolitan
"Enticing . . . iridescent . . . imaginatively illustrated."
—The New York Times Book Review

Sagan is dearly missed, he talked much about pseudoscience, medical and political tyranny and talked about a balanced approach to the changes in the climate. He was not left or right, did not demonize or promote censorship those who did not agree with him.
We need more the likes of him today!
I just digitized the VHS version of Cosmos, it has the original music and artwork/graphics and the KCET, ARCO and Arthur Vining Davis Foundation intros.

Updated: Amazon has changed the process... at least on my smartphone. It showed $1.99 with no eligible credits being applied until AFTER I hit the Buy button. Credits were applied once I did that, so it kinda took a leap of faith that things would work out - which it did. I seem to recall that the price shown before committing to purchase was the price with credits applied, and that might be a difference between a mobile device and a PC, but still....
tl;dr - Cosmos is eligible for No Rush Credits
Damn you indifferent universe for not giving him more time! Thank you for keeping Attenborough around for a long time though!

Let's compare apples to apples. This is a deal on a digital book. My library system does not carry this book digitally on Libby. Again, absolutely no reason for ignorant comments.
