A spirited defense of science . . . From the first page to the last, this book is a manifesto for clear thought." *Los Angeles Times "POWERFUL . . . A stirring defense of informed rationality. . . Rich in surprising information and beautiful writing." *The Washington Post Book World How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don't understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions. Casting a wide net through history and culture, Sagan examines and authoritatively debunks such celebrated fallacies of the past as witchcraft, faith healing, demons, and UFOs. And yet, disturbingly, in today's so-called information age, pseudoscience is burgeoning with stories of alien abduction, channeling past lives, and communal hallucinations commanding growing attention and respect. As Sagan demonstrates with lucid eloquence, the siren song of unreason is not just a cultural wrong turn but a dangerous plunge into darkness that threatens our most basic freedoms. "COMPELLING." *USA Today "A clear vision of what good science means and why it makes a difference. . . . A testimonial to the power of science and a warning of the dangers of unrestrained credulity." *The Sciences "PASSIONATE." *San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle Review: A guide to practise critical thinking and skeptisicm - There are very few books that leave a lasting impression on a reader and this is one of them. This book addresses critical questions about the universe, fallible tabloids, hallucination and so much more. The beauty of carl sagan's mind is that he has always been curious about the things which others feel are ignorant and refuse to research or make efforts to dig deeper. Critical thinking and Skepticism are the mosy essential tools and each every human being should use to live a life with provable facts and theories not the religious books ambiguity. Review: Good arguments for Science - A good read for person who wants to understand how science works...not by miracles and not by claiming to have answers for everything. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,122 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #45 in Encyclopaedias & Reference Works (Books) #110 in Sciences, Technology & Medicine (Books) #259 in Religion & Spirituality (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 7,044 Reviews | ## Images ![Demon-Haunted World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Eck-ud8AL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A guide to practise critical thinking and skeptisicm *by S***T on 9 August 2021* There are very few books that leave a lasting impression on a reader and this is one of them.

While teaching the so called “Skepticism” , it opens the door to understand inexplicable human fallibility. Everyone must keep Carl Sagan’s “baloney detection kit”, so that we can make better decisions on irrational things existing in our society. It humbled me down in many areas. It really did. Tons of facts and truths debunking the illogical accusations and fallacies of science, religion, economy, politics and philosophy. Sense of enlightenment guaranteed. A must read.
