Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Die Mars Pathfinder Station - ein Meilenstein in der Raumforschung - wurde kürzlich vom Direktor der NASA auf den Namen Carl Sagan Memorial Station getauft. Sagan, der im Dezember 1996 starb, war der meistgefeierte Wissenschaftler seiner Zeit und ein führender Visionär des Raumzeitalters. Doch gleichzeitig war Sagan auch eine äußerst kontroverse Persönlichkeit, die sehr widersprüchliche Meinungen hervorrief. Ob er nun über die Existenz von UFOs stritt oder für den kreativen Nebeneffekt des Marihuanarauchens eintrat, Sagan fesselte sein Publikum und provozierte Reaktionen. Seine Karriere erstreckt sich über die gesamte Geschichte der Raumforschung, und er spielte eine wichtige Rolle im Apolloprogramm, den frühen Planetenprogrammen, wie z.B. Viking und Voyager und der Suche nach außerirdischer Intelligenz. Jetzt neu als Broschurausgabe! Davidson zeichnet in seiner Biographie Sagans ein unvergessliches Porträt über das stürmische Leben eines extravaganten Mannes, den manche als Sc harlatan belächelt und andere als Visionär betrachtet haben.…

Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. 8vo (22.7 cm), XX, 540 pp. Laminated wrappers. "Carl Sagan was one of the most celebrated scientists of his time - the leading visionary of the Space Age. He was also a highly controversial figure who inspired wildly opposed opinions. His enthusiasm and eloquence about the wonders of space, the marvels of the human brain, and the mysteries of life captured the imagination of millions. Yet one scientist was so enraged by Sagan's scientific pronouncements that he compared him to the Black Plague, and William F. Buckley, Jr. likened him to circus huckster P. T. Barnum." (from the publisher's description).…
