Milliardy i milliardy : Razmyshleniia o zhizni i smerti na rubezhe tysiacheletii - Sagan K.

This is the last book of the famous scientist and popularizer of science Carl Sagan. In his characteristic, clear and visual manner, Sagan shows how knowledge in science and mathematics is applied in our daily lives, as well as the most important problems related to the environment and the future of mankind. His interests are broad and diverse: he easily moves from the issue of the invention of chess to the possibility of life on Mars, from the origins of our passion for football to the relationship between the United States and Russia, from global warming to the debate about a woman's right to abortion. The last essay, which the author wrote while struggling with a deadly ailment, presents his revelations about love for family and personal attitude to death and God.
