Introduction 

Cosmos has 13 chapters, corresponding to the 13 episodes of the Cosmos television series.
The book covers a broad range of topics, comprising Sagan's reflections on anthropological, cosmological, biological, historical, and astronomical matters from antiquity to contemporary times. Sagan explores 15 billion years of cosmic evolution and the development of science and civilization.
He also discusses the underlying premises of science by providing biographical anecdotes about many prominent scientists, placing their contributions in the broader context of the development of modern science.
Shortly after release, Cosmos became the best-selling science book ever published in the English language and was the first science book to sell more than half a million copies.  It was only surpassed in the late 1980s by Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time.

My Experience With Fasting

Disclaimer: all advises/recommendations below are based on my own experience with fasting. This is Not to be used as medical advice. Please check with your Doctor.

I tried different types of fasting,
below is quick reference.

Why Fast?
.

There are many health benefits of fasting, some of which:

• Autograph (Cell Renewal).
• Weight Management.
• Reversing Diabetes. 
•  Controlling hunger.
• Mental Clarity and focus.

I fasted Mondays to Wednesdays (3 days fast) and Thursdays to Fridays (2 Days Fast) for several months now. During the fasting days I would consume water, coffees and teas along with some butter.

My reasons were to reduce fat % (From 14 to around 11), ability to reduce extra pounds when need to and to control my per-diabetes conditions..
