Carl Sagan - The Demon-Haunted World: Science As a Candle in the Dark

Consumer Rating:	See 15 reviews \| Write a review
Information:	Product details
Price Range:	$8.63 - $10.85 at 2 stores

Disturbingly, in our so-called information age, pseudoscience is burgeoning, with alien abduction, "channeling" past lives, and communal hallucinations commanding growing attention and respect. In this compellingly brilliant new book, Carl Sagan argues that this is not just a cultural wrong turn, but a dangerous plunge into darkness that threatens our most basic freedoms. Casting a wide net through history and culture, Sagan examines and authoritatively debunks modern pseudoscience, as well as such celebrated fallacies of the past as witchcraft, faith healing, demons, and UFOs. By doing so, he demonstrates that true scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth, but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions. Minimize

Cons: Can't think of any worth mentioning.

The Bottom Line: I think it is an excellent review of skeptical thinking with compassion.

Review: *note: This is a slight update for a review originally published in February of 2001
