Carl Sagan struggles against all kinds of superstition and pseudoscience, using nothing but the common sense and reliable scientific sources. A book to be read and re-read all over again.

    Carl is an amazing writer. Learning about science and how to filter out baloney is a crucial skill in today's world.

    This is a must for anyone who lives in a world that's built on science. So it's pretty much a book that everyone has to read.

    I had no idea Sagan was so open and full of wonder. Very interesting man.

    Amazing book. A mixture of science/philosophy/skepticism. One of those books that really makes you stop and think.

    Sagan was a genius. I only wish he were still alive today so that he could continue to fight the good fight.

    Learn how not to think. Should be required for membership in the human race.

    Matt Rachubka loved this book. He says "Sagan gives you the 'real' science, denouncing pseudo sciences such as religion, fortune telling, UFOs, and hoaxes. If you like science based books, you'll love this."
