Françoise Sagan est morte le 24 septembre 2004, laissant une dette fiscale de plus d'un million d'euros et une oeuvre, composée d'une trentaine de romans et d'une dizaine de pièces de théâtre, sur le point d'ètre purement et simplement liquidée. Denis Westhoff, son fils unique, décide, en 2006, d'accepter cette succession empoisonnée, hors norme. Il réalise alors que la femme publique, celle que tout le monde croit connaître, prodigue avec son argent, aimant vivre dangereusement et de préférence à cent à l'heure, lui est longtemps restée inconnue. Lui a été aimé et élevé par une mère qui a pris soin de le protéger des éclats de sa légende. En repassant par certains lieux, en se remémorant des anecdotes, des moments forts, gais ou douloureux, des conversations intimes, en dessinant les portraits de ceux qui ont vraiment fait partie du cercle Sagan, il éclaire d'une lumière totalement inédite l'une des figures majeures de la littérature française.

His life was both an intellectual feast and an emotional rollercoaster. Based on interviews with Sagan's family and friends, including his widow, Ann Druyan; his first wife, acclaimed scientist Lynn Margulis; and his three sons, as well as exclusive access to many personal papers, this highly acclaimed life story offers remarkable insight into one of the most influential, provocative, and beloved figures of our time―a complex, contradictory prophet of the Space Age.

Since the publication of Worlds in Collision, Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky's unconventional theories of the origin of the solar system have generated immense interest and bitter controversy. Chief among his critics has been the well-known astronomer, author and television personality, Dr. Carl Sagan of Cornell University. While brilliantly defending Velikovsky's work, Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky mercilessly dissects Sagan, the blatantly snide, dishonest and unprofessional 'arguments' and exposes the sordid and unscientific side of 'scientific' controversy. "An excellent and erudite Destruction of Saganism ... awe-inspiring ... The completeness of it, the completeness of it." -Robert Anton Wilson, author of Cosmic Trigger and The New Inquisition

Who was Carl Sagan? Was he an astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, science popularizer, or science communicator? This picture book, perfect for young kids, will show you. Adya Jha, a twelve-year-old writer, writes a picture book that will take you and the little ones on a journey across his life, to the far reaches of the cosmos, and inspire many to persist and believe.

The first biography of the best-known scientist of his generation and the author of the best-seller Cosmos.In this, the first full-scale examination of the life of Carl Sagan, award-winning science writer William Poundstone details the transformation of a bookish young astronomer obsessed with life on other worlds into science's first authentic media superstar. As a fixture on television and a bestselling author, Sagan became instantly recognizable. To people around the world, he offered entrée into the mysteries of the cosmos and of science in general. To much of the scientific community, though, he was something of a pariah, a brazen publicity seeker who cared more about his image and his fortune than the advancement of science. Poundstone reveals the seldom-discussed aspects of Sagan's life, the legitimate and important work of his early scientific career, the almost obsessive capacity to take on less projects, the multiple marriages and fractured tumultuous personal life-all essential elements of this complicated and extraordinary man, truly the first and most famous scientist of the media age.
