More info

This is the last book by Carl Sagan, an astronomer, astrophysicist and an outstanding science popularizer, published after his death. This book, dedicated to one of his favorite topics - the human mind and the fight against pseudoscientific stupidity - is a kind of summary of all his work.

The myths of Atlantis and Lemuria, faces on Mars and encounters with aliens, magic and reincarnation, clairvoyance and bigfoot, creationism and astrology - Sagan consistently and mercilessly exposes the myths created by ignorance, fear and self-interest.

Features

This book is a skeptic's manifesto, a textbook of common sense and the scientific method. A bright, deeply personal text is not only a battle with pseudoscience, but also an amazing picture of the formation of a scientific worldview, the greatest discoveries and ascetics. Science for Sagan is pure joy, it is amazing in itself. To take just a few facts: all information about a person is contained in every cell of the body; quasars are so far away that their light began to radiate towards the Earth even before it was formed; all people are relatives and descend from the same ancestors who lived several million years ago. Science opens up unprecedented opportunities, and humanity has long had no need to invent idols for itself and allow itself to be manipulated.
