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.
(From Wikipedia.org)
"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.
"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
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...
评分 评分虽说本译作早就被揭露有很多翻译错误,但是我想再怎样,看了书的内容,都知道其主题根本不是“对任何事物(包括科学)的执着都会导致迷信”,而是对伪科学泛滥成灾(不是对伪科学的“执着”)的担忧,以及用科学及科学精神来揭露伪科学的错误。(不执著于科学,怎能有揭露为科...
