A propos de l'auteur

A respected planetary scientist best known outside the field for his popularizations of astronomy, Carl Sagan was born in New York City on November 9, 1934. He attended the University of Chicago, where he received a B.A. in 1954, a B.S. in 1955, and a M.S. in 1956 in physics as well as a Ph.D. in afficher plus 1960 in astronomy and astrophysics. He has several early scholarly achievements including the experimental demonstration of the synthesis of the energy-carrying molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in primitive-earth experiments. Another was the proposal that the greenhouse effect explained the high temperature of the surface of Venus. He was also one of the driving forces behind the mission of the U.S. satellite Viking to the surface of Mars. He was part of a team that investigated the effects of nuclear war on the earth's climate - the "nuclear winter" scenario. Sagan's role in developing the "Cosmos" series, one of the most successful series of any kind to be broadcast on the Public Broadcasting System, and his book The Dragons of Eden (1977) won the Pulitzer Prize in 1978. He also wrote the novel Contact, which was made into a movie starring Jodie Foster. He died from pneumonia on December 20, 1996. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

Courte biographie: Carl Edward Sagan (November 9, 1934 – December 20, 1996) was an American astronomer, astrophysicist, author, and highly successful popularizer of astronomy, astrophysics and other natural sciences. He pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

He is world-famous for writing popular science books and for co-writing and presenting the award-winning 1980 television series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, which has been seen by more than 500 million people in over 60 countries.[2] A book to accompany the program was also published. He also wrote the novel Contact, the basis for the 1997 film of the same name. During his lifetime, Sagan published more than 600 scientific papers and popular articles and was author, co-author, or editor of more than 20 books. In his works, he frequently advocated skeptical inquiry, secular humanism, and the scientific method.

Cosmic connection ou l'Appel des étoiles par Carl Sagan

> Babelio : https://www.babelio.com/livres/Sagan-Cosmic-connection-ou-lappel-des-etoiles/148...

> COSMIC CONNECTION ou l'Appel des étoiles, de Carl Sagan. — Les grandes explorations recommencent : l’enfer sulfureux de Vénus, les glaces carboniques et les volcans géants de Mars, bientôt les océans de méthane de Jupiter se découvrent à nous. Nos sondes quittent maintenant le système solaire, porteuses de messages pour les étoiles lointaines, cependant que nos radiotélescopes se mettent à l’écoute des autres galaxies. Trouver des formes de vie autres, dialoguer avec des civilisations extra-terrestres, ces vieux rêves de l’humanité se concrétisent aujourd’hui. La réalité dépasse la science-fiction. Ed. Le Seuil, 1978.
—Revue Française de Yoga, (15), Janvier 1997… (plus d'informations)
