Review:
Carl Sagan muses on the current state of scientific thought, which offers him marvellous opportunities to entertain us with his own childhood experiences, the newspaper morgues, UFO stories and the assorted flotsam and jetsam of pseudoscience. Along the way he debunks alien abduction, faith-healing and channelling, refutes the arguments that science destroys spirituality, and provides a "baloney detection kit" for thinking through political, social, religious and other issues.
Review:
A brilliant populariser of astronomy and space science ... Sagan's writing is as lucid and stylish as ever. - Financial Times No one has ever succeeded in conveying the wonder, excitement and joy of science as widely as Carl Sagan and few as well ... His ability to capture the imagination of millions and to explain difficult concepts in understandable terms is a magnificent achievement. - National Academy of Sciences
