"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
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...
评分本书是我的个人坦白，向你们讲述我对科学终生的爱情故事。 ——卡尔·萨根《魔鬼出没的世界》 我想，这是一本每个中国人都应该读的书。 在第一章中，作者记述了一位他碰到的“巴克利”先生，他对科学有极大的兴趣，非常乐意与萨根这个“搞科学...
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...
用户评价
科学 照亮黑暗的蜡烛
评分推荐所有学文科的人看看，提高一下自己对科学，为科学，迷信等的认识。
评分是我读卡尔萨根的老问题，喜欢他真诚的热爱，然而对反复出现的一些话题很快就会不耐烦。有趣的地方其实也很多，讲质疑精神和民主的部分很喜欢，担心下一代科学教育不够、科学精神不过关这样下去药丸的样子也看得很感同身受，豆知识例如杰弗逊家里还摆了个汉密尔顿胸像这个事情我也是很震惊了（？？？）
评分这种又想要推荐给所有人，又不希望别人去读想要独占的复杂感情...
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。
