much more than the title says. built from shklovskii's 1963 vselennia, zhizn, razum ("universe, life, mind") and so it contains a primer on astronomy and planetary science from a Soviet perspective. in the combined work there are another 10 chapters' worth of annotations and additions from sagan, all clearly marked by symbols in the text. the finished 1966 english language work is much more than the original with new material contributed by both sagan and shklovskii in collaboration with fern.
sagan takes the sort of approach youd expect from someone repeatedly accused of being a fellow traveler.
When Shklovskii expresses his belief that lasting world peace is impossible while capitalism survives, or implies that lasers are being actively developed in the United States for their possible military applications alone, I have let the content of these statements stand, despite their political intent. I have occasionally interjected some remarks on related subjects with which, perhaps, Shklovskii would disagree. I do not think the reader will be distressed by the occasional appearance of a dialogue.
also contains some discussion of debates within dialectical materialism over the philosophical foundations of life on other planets, and a funny story about when sagan was brought to testify in the prosecution of a con artist who claimed to have met Aryan supermen from the planet saturn. highly recommended.
