Carl Sagan纔是真正的科普大師。他不僅僅是有著很高的科學成就,更讓我感動的是他對人類和世界的深切關懷。
評分好科普。。。適閤中學生看吧

評分科學 照亮黑暗的蠟燭
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 ????
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
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...
評分什么是科学精神? 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...
評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...
評分类似《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...
評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...
