"The best-selling science book ever published in the English language, Cosmos is a magnificent overview of the past, present, and future of science. Brilliant and provocative, it traces today's knowledge and scientific methods to their historical roots, blending science and philosophy in a wholly energetic and irresistible way."

Somehow I feel that all of the e-books I have done prior have been preludes to this one, which I discovered with great joy at a young age. May it light the wonder and love of science and our amazing universe in many others.

Notes:

- This e-book is not a repost of an available commercial PDF. Instead, it was lovingly scanned from the original book, OCR'ed, proofread, spellchecked, formatted and PDF'ed by me, which took a couple of weeks. This is because, as far as I know, it has never been available as an eBook in the original full-color illustrated hardback edition.

- The formatting and wording was kept identical to the original edition, so photo captions may indicate directions (ie right, left) that no longer reflect the layout as a vertical PDF. About a dozen typos and misspellings in the original text were corrected, however.

- Of course, Cosmos has been been posted here before, but as above only as the black-and-white edition with no colour photos.

- Sorry... I had a cover image for this torrent entry, but unfortunately bayimg is down again.

- There's only a PDF as I find it a pain to convert to other formats... sorry. Feel free of course!
