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
Carl Edward Sagan (November 9, 1934 – December 20, 1996) was an American astronomer and science popularizer. He pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence (SETI). He is world-famous for his popular science books and the television series Cosmos, which he co-wrote and presented. He also wrote the novel Contact on which the 1997 film of the same name starring Jodie Foster was based. In his works, he frequently advocated the scientific method.

外星人就是上帝。这句话也可以这样说,我们抛弃了上帝,而把它转换成了外星人。作为无神论者,经过唯物主义思想的改造以后,大家对一些神神鬼鬼呀,最多作为远古流传下来的民间故事,或者神话传说,寓言之类的,没有宗教信仰的人多数是这样的看法,更趋向于理性科学的思维方法...
評分 評分看完此书,真让人觉得美国前途堪忧。美国本来是一个有良好的科学传统和体制的国家,新发明、新技术层出不穷且是经济增长的重要引擎,科研有良好的规模效应,也是世界科普的光源。近年来却逐渐被日本和德国反超,IT革命的浪潮过去之后更是缺乏新的科技成果作为第一生产力,结果...
