Each chapter in the book was named and based on one episode of the TV show, so the DVD packaging included a short description of each chapter, most of which I’d already read by the time I got the DVDs. I realized this when I received the DVD set for the TV series on which the book was based. Don’t try to figure out what it’s about first. I’ve found that Cosmos is one of those books that you should just start reading. So my wild guess at a summary was this: “ timeless illustrated book, Cosmos, demonstrates beautifully how the stories of civilization and modern science are intertwined.” I guess this is correct, but just how little it actually conveys about what this book really is, is one of the things that makes Cosmos beautiful. For example, Cosmos made my list of “ 30 Books Every Atheist Should Read” before I’d started reading the book myself. I think that the cover of the Cosmos audiobook best portrays the sense of wonder you get when reading this.īefore reading Cosmos, I had heard so much about it, but I’d never seen a really solid summary of what the book is about.
