Read this result carefully

This 2013 Ballantine record places Cosmos at 520 within science and mathematics. The number is recorded for the linked print edition, rather than inferred from the title or borrowed from the television series. The catalogue credits Carl Sagan and additional material involving Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Ann Druyan; its responsibility statement is preserved in the source details as recorded. Current publisher descriptions can word those contributions differently, so use the source and your copy when checking edition details. The broad class helps explain the subject area, while the library catalogue supplies the complete local shelf location.

The record lists a valid ISBN associated with this edition. That does not independently verify every metadata field, establish a universal number for every version, or give the complete local shelf location. Compare the source with your copy.
