Sagan, Carl; Morowitz, Harold
Life in the Clouds of Venus In Nature 215 Issue 5107 pp. 1259-1260 September 16 1967 SAGAN & MOROWITZ HYPOTHESIZE LIFE ON VENUS
London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS OF THE 1967 LETTER TO THE EDITOR IN WHICH CARL SAGAN & HAROLD MOROWITZ HYPOTHESIZED LIFE MAY EXIST ON VENUS. The authors' letter to the editor presents an analysis of the issue of life on Venus and speculates about the possibility that the shadowy patches in the clouds of Venus are in fact microscopic life. <br /> <br /> Fifty-three years later on the 14th of September 2020 research that set out to prove or disprove Sagan and Morowitz's hypothesis is close to proving them right. As did Sagan and Morowitz the new research suggests that if life it exists it is in the clouds surrounding Venus. Their 1967 letter begins with the following sentence "While the surface conditions of Venus make the hypothesis of life there implausible the clouds of Venus are a different story altogether" Sagan & Morowitz 1259. <br /> <br /> "The unexpected atmospheric detection of phosphine a smelly gas made by microbes on Earth could spark a revolution in astrobiology" Mann Venus Might Host Life New Discovery Suggests Scientific American September 14 2020. "The detection of a gas in the planet's atmosphere could turn scientists' gaze to a planet long overlooked in the search for extraterrestrial life" Stirone et al Life on Venus Astronomers See a Signal in Its Clouds New York Times September 14 2020. <br /> <br /> "Since the 1960s astronomers have also noticed that Venus's clouds are not reflecting as much of the sun's ultraviolet light as they should be: an unknown something in the atmosphere seems to be preferentially absorbing that light instead. This observation led the late astrobiologists Harold Morowitz and Carl Sagan to propose that energy-hungry photosynthetic organisms might be the culprit" Mann. <br /> <br /> In 2020 "Telescopes have detected unusually high concentrations of the molecule phosphine—a stinky flammable chemical typically associated with feces farts and rotting microbial activity—in an atmospheric layer far above the planet's scorching surface. <br /> <br /> "The finding is curious because here on Earth phosphine is essentially always associated with living creatures either as a by-product of metabolic processes or of human technology such as industrial fumigants and methamphetamine labs. Although toxic to many organisms the molecule has been singled out as a potentially unambiguous signature of life because it is so difficult to make through ordinary geological or atmospheric action" ibid.

Murmurs of Earth: The Voyager Interstellar Record.
New York: Random House 1978. First edition of this fascinating story which covers the story of the interstellar record. Quarto original cloth illustrated. Association copy lengthily inscribed by both Carl Sagan and Anne Druyan on the half-title page "For Shirley With my deep gratitude for contributions numerous substantive and spiritual to the success of the project and this book. With love Carl Sagan" and "Dearest Shirley - There is no one in all the millions of miles that Voyager crosses like you - for all your kindness your implementation your goodness - my deep love - I'm so lucky to know you and I treasure our friendship. Annie." The recipient Sagan's executive assistant Shirley Arden was instrumental in Sagan’s success and handled all travel arrangements and publications in his most illustrious years which saw the Viking landings on Mars the Cosmos television series and the Voyager mission. Ann and Carl dedicated their book Comet 1995 to Arden and she acted as the matron of honor in their wedding. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Robert Aulicino. An exceptional association. In 1977 two extraodinary spacecraft called Voyager were launched to the stars. Affixed to each Voyager craft was a gold-coated copper phonograph record as a message to possible extra-terrestrial civilizations that might encounter the spacecraft in some distant space and time. Each record contained 118 photographs of our planet; almost 90 minutes of the world's greatest music; an evolutionary audio essay on "The Sounds of Earth"; and greetings in almost sixty human languages and one whale language. This book is an account written by those chiefly responsible for the contents of the Voyager Record of why they did it how they selected the repertoire and precisely what the record contains.

Now in this stunning sequel Carl Sagan completes his revolutionary journey through space and time. ; Future generations will look back on our epoch as the time when the human race finally broke into a radically new frontier-space. In Pale Blue Dot Sagan traces the spellbinding history of our launch into the cosmos and assesses the future that looms before us as we move out into our own solar system and on to distant galaxies beyond. The exploration and eventual settlement of other worlds is neither a fantasy nor luxury insists Sagan but rather a necessary condition for the survival of the human race. ; "Takes readers far beyond Cosmos . . . Sagan sees humanity's future in the stars."-Chicago Tribune ; Carl Sagan served as the David Duncan Professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences and Director of the Laboratory for Planetary Studies at Cornell University. He played a leading role in the Mariner Viking Voyager and Galileo spacecraft expeditions for which he received the NASA Medals for Exceptional Scientific Achievement and twice for Distinguished Public Service. His Emmy- and Peabody-winning television series Cosmos became the most widely watched series in the history of American public television. The accompanying book also called Cosmos is one of the bestselling science books ever published in the English language. Dr. Sagan received the Pulitzer Prize the Oersted Medal and many other awards-including twenty honorary degrees from American colleges and universities-for his contributions to science literature education and the preservation of the environment. In their posthumous award to Dr. Sagan of their highest honor the National Science Foundation declared that his "research transformed planetary science. his gifts to mankind were infinite." Dr. Sagan died on December 20 1996. ; Contents: Wanderers: an introduction -- You are here -- Aberrations of light -- The great demotions -- A universe not made for us -- Is there intelligent life on Earth -- The triumph of Voyager -- Among the moons of Saturn -- The first new planet -- An American ship at the frontiers of the solar system -- Sacred black -- Evening and morning star -- The ground belts -- The gift of Apollo -- Exploring other worlds and protecting this one -- The gates of the wonder world open -- Scaling heaven -- Routine interplanetary violence -- The marsh of Camarina -- Remaking the planets -- Darkness -- To the sky! -- Tiptoeing through the Milky Way. ; FINE <br/> <br/> New York : Random House, c1994. hardcover

SAGAN, Carl; Frank Drake; Linda Salzman Sagan
Pioneer plaque photograph.
Washington DC: NASA 1972. An official photograph issued for press depicting the design engraved on the plaques mounted aboard the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 spacecraft. Made of gold-anodized aluminium the plaques were intended to pictorially communicate information to any extraterrestrial life the probes might encounter. The plaque was designed by Carl Sagan and Frank Drake with artwork by Linda Salzman Sagan. The information it conveys includes human anatomy the location of the Earth sun and Solar System and the date the craft was launched along with illustrations of the spacecraft and hydrogen atom to demonstrate scale. Nasa's description of the plaque is printed on the verso: "It is designed to show scientifically educated inhabitants of some other star system - who might intercept it millions of years from now - when Pioneer was launched from where and by what kind of beings". Launched in 1972 and 1973 Pioneer 10 and 11 were the first space crafts to achieve the escape velocity necessary to leave the Solar System. Pioneer 10 is currently heading towards the Taurus constellation and 11 towards the Aquila constellation journeys estimated to take approximately two and four million years respectively. Monochrome print 256 x 204 mm. Press captions to verso printed in purple comprising description date copyright information and reference numbers "72-H-192" & "72-HC-133". Lightly creased verso text a little shaved along right edge: in very good condition. unknown

Sagan, Carl [Paul Ehrlich] [Donald Kennedy] [Walter Orr Roberts] [Stephen Jay Gould]
The Cold and the Dark: The World after Nuclear War inscribed to Stephen Jay Gould
NY: Norton 1984. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good. An important association copy inscribed by one of the lead authors renown biologist Paul Ehrlich to the equally esteemed National Book Award--winning Stephen Jay Gould: "For Steve with warmest regards. Fight on! Paul." Scarce signed by any contributor--the first example we've seen and a good one. This book is the product of a year-long study involving over 200 hundred scientists tasked with projecting the biological outcomes of nuclear war. In the two key papers Carl Sagan presents the atmospheric and climatic implications and Ehrlich follows with the biological consequences. The contributors to two panel conversations that are also collected include a who's who of atmospheric scientists and significant biologists including but not limited to Nobel Laureate Paul Crutzen Donald Kennedy Thomas Eisner John Harte John P. Holdren Walter Orr Roberts and Lewis Thomas Lives of the Cell who provides the foreword. See photos for the full list of bios. The book finishes with a dialogue between US and Soviet scientists. <br /> <br /> Ehrlich is best known for his deeply influential and controversial book The Population Bomb 1968 about overpopulation and resource scarcity a topic which has defined his career and perhaps overshadowed his distinguished achievements in ecology and conservation biology including classic butterfly studies. The book was called alarmist by some but Ehrlich years later said that "perhaps the most serious flaw in The Bomb was that it was much too optimistic about the future." He's spent his career at Stanford. <br /> <br /> Stephen Jay Gould is considered one of the most influential popular scientist writers of the 20th century. An evolutionary biologist in his field he’s known especially for his theory of “punctuated equilibrium†which holds that evolution operates through times of rapid extreme change e.g. the Anthropocene followed by relative stability. He argued forcefully against creationism describing religion and science as separate fields with different emphases and equal merits. He also was against sociobiology and had a longstanding debate with his Harvard colleague E.O. Wilson—perhaps the only contemporary science writer of his stature—warning against a “deterministic view of human society and human action.†He was the winner of the National Book Award in science in 1981 for The Panda’s Thumb: More Reflections in Natural History and a finalist for the same award the following year for The Mismeasure of Man which did win the National Book Critics Circle Award. He died at 60 of cancer in 2002. <br /> <br /> A very near fine book with only light rubbing to spine ends; in a very good jacket with some minor wear to lower spine and streaks of rubbing where paper turns to cloth on the boards. With a handsome letter-press bookplate from a previous bookseller on the front paste down affirming provenance. A significant addition to any science or climate change collection and arguably most unfortunately very much of renewed relevance in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the specter of a nuclear attack and retaliation.

SAGAN, Carl
The Cosmic Connection: An Extraterrestrial Perspective
<p>First edition. Octavo original cloth. SIGNED First Edition/First Printing by Carl Sagan on the half-title page. As New in an As new dust jacket. Octavo xiii 274pp. Black cloth title in gilt on spine illustration in gilt on cover. Unclipped $7.95 on front flap Produced by Jerome Agel author of The U.S. Constitution for Everyone. Jacket painting by Jon Lomberg; jacket typography by Jim McWilliams. In 1973 Carl Sagan published The Cosmic Connection which won a special nonfiction John W. Campbell Memorial Award – the only time that award went to a nonfiction book – in 1974. An audacious view of the universe CC rapidly became a classic work of popular science and galvanized a new generation of scientists and enthusiasts. In Sagan's celebrated style both lucid and lyrical he elucidates topics from astrophysics and solar system science to colonization terraformation and the search for extraterrestrials. Sagan conjures his infectious excitement and wonder and relates the revelations of astronomy to the most profound human problems and concerns: issues as gripping today as they were more than half a century ago when CC was originally published. Whatever wonders our third millennium will yet reveal Carl Sagan undoubtedly played a unique role in preparing us for them. At the memorial service for Carl Sagan in 1996 Cornell President Frank Rhodes articulated in his eulogy: Sagan asked the big questions that others had given up. Not for him was the pursuit of science an activity of a closed and inward looking guild: for him science was a means of public understanding and enlightenment. Rhodes further noted that while Sagan introduced no earthshaking discovery at Cornell he would be remembered more than most of the Nobel Laureates on campus because of his unparalleled ability to communicate.
