"A glorious book . . . 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.

读后感
只能说这本书是不错的科普书，用例证、类比、故事这类论证手法较多，多了一分亲和力和通俗性，但少了严谨。并且书中并没有抽象地谈论科学思维方法论，最接近的地方也就是一个例证：车库中的飞龙。然而实际上从例证到严格的、抽象的方法论，还是有相当远的距离的，同学们如果认...
评分类似《上帝的迷思》（道金斯）和《魔鬼出没的世界》这样的科普作品，普及的主要不是科学知识，而是科学的理念和科学精神。（因而并非普通科普作者人人能写） 然而，我想卡尔·萨根在本书中所讲述的并非仅仅是科学精神，书中处处体现的一个科学家的人文精神才是本书最重要的...
评分什么是科学精神？ 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...
评分很早以前从枫哥那里拿到一本书，女巫——撒旦的情人，有点意思，里面的图片很也精美，不知道是不是从读书里面看到的这个词，想象的共同体，个人以为这个词很适合表述这种人类历史上的文化现象。比如铁皮人表示机器大工业化时代的想象，汽车人则是车轮子上的国家那个时代的想象...

tbbt第四季第11集，Zack好像开头的那个记者，“我爱科学！”
评分Carl Sagan才是真正的科普大师。他不仅仅是有着很高的科学成就，更让我感动的是他对人类和世界的深切关怀。
评分书中的观念我是很认同的, 不过对于已经同意science的重要性的人来说, 这本书有点罗嗦了.
评分Skepticism, and an open and sober mind to skepticism is the key to truth.
评分这本书里的内容将被融入我的血液中
