Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. They tried to restore this from an old audio book master, but it was damaged. It was after reading this book that I moved away from an adherence to a fundamentalist version of Christianity. What could not be recovered from his original reading is loving read by his wife and partner, Ann, with such passion it almost hurts. I even set it to "high quality" mode and it is still very bad. Was there a beginning of time?

Now it must be said I have nothing against Ann Druyan, I have high respect for her but her voice is not Carl Sagan and its his voice you want this book for. Do we need God in order to be good? This review is souly regarding the recently released Audible edition.
The parts of the future of space exploration were a little speculative but fun and entertaining. This might also be my all time favorite book. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth doy and clearly, with sparkling wit, in digestible chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.
Not that I can be critical of Ann Druyan who conducts the narration with a great deal of grace, though she is no substitute for the great Carl Sagan. These are also the first 4 chapters and could be skipped although I think they should be listened to at least once. This book was partly responsible for my passion for astronomy. Were the fates of the dinosaurs and the origins of humans tied to the wanderings of a comet?
Carl Sagan is a wordsmith. A Brief History of Time is Hawking's classic introduction to today's most important scientific ideas. Neil deGrasse Tyson Narrated by: If you have read Cosmos by Sagan you will find that many sections are repeated here, though the book is a quite glorious introduction and study of space about us and the issues we face in trying to understand it.
Her voice occasionally sounds tired, though she is always clear in what she says so I cannot raise much fault. Ann Druyan, only if it's the only way to listen to a Carl Sagan book. I shouldn't have to tell you of its grandeur and importance.
Pale Blue Dot
What members say Average Customer Ratings Overall. One bonus you get at the beginning of this book is that the first couple of chapters are read by Sagan himself.
Overall I'm glad that I listened to this book again; it's as great as I remembered. More from the same Author: Sagan was years ahead of his time and he discusses climate change as if it were as well-established and accepted as it is today by most reasonable, educated people, that is!
It was after reading this book that I moved away from an adherence to a fundamentalist version of Christianity. Its author, Stephen W. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Now Dawkins turns his considerable intellect on religion, denouncing its faulty logic and the suffering it causes. There was an unabridged Pale Blue Dot recording where Sagan did the first 4 chapters, all chapter introductions, occasional sections of other chapters and most if not all of the final chapters.

Forces of Nature By: You are here quote or section read from Carl in HQ. The future is here Great story, average narration I was expecting to hear more from Carl Sagan but instead had to endure mainly Ann Druyan. It's as if my grandmother has returned to read me to sleep with her frail, but sweet voice.
Comet is an enthralling adventure, indispensable for anyone who has ever gazed up uadiobook the heavens and wondered why.
How do we fit within the universe?
