*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
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.

雖說譯版早就讀完瞭不過最近在豆瓣上看書評發現還多人吐槽李翻譯不準確。。。
評分喚醒內心中的科學傢。
評分喚醒內心中的科學傢。
評分這種又想要推薦給所有人,又不希望彆人去讀想要獨占的復雜感情...
評分依然是那位德國朋友藉我看的,簡直可以拿來當GRE單詞書用 ???? 好吧其實是很正經的科普讀物。我小時候超相信UFO、百慕大三角、金字塔、尼斯湖水怪等等,超愛看“世界未解之謎”之類的(僞)科學叢書的,現在想想真的好羞恥啊 ????
什么是科学精神? 先讲一段小插曲。我参加完Lia Halloran的沙龙后,问这个有着科学背景的艺术家,“你相信有外星人吗?” 她反问我有没有读过萨根的书。那个时候我一定让她想起书一开始那个自称热爱科学实则迷信的出租车司机,当我读这本书的时候完全能理解她当时的反应。 读完...
評分 評分大家都很严肃地在说,那我就轻松点讲吧(我可不是念物理的,可以的话这个作为通俗的指南好了): 首先,如果你在图书馆看到这本书,请一定不要放过它! 理由如下: 1,态度严谨,经验丰富,立意高尚,但是浅显清楚,所以卡尔萨根的科普书和节目才会经久不衰,这一本尤其是。 2...
評分 評分读科普已经很多年了,卡尔·萨根名头响亮,带着极高的期望开始读这本书,结果,却是满满的失望。 书中用着各种繁复、冗长的语句,絮絮叨叨的叙述着科普的入门概念,所有内容就是简单一句话可以概括——没有鬼、没有外星人、没有超能力,幻觉很常见。尽管这是科普的真意,为什么...
