The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Carl Sagan (November 9, 1934–December 20, 1996) was many things — a cosmic sage, voracious reader, hopeless romantic, and brilliant philosopher. But above all, he endures as our era’s greatest patron saint of reason and critical thinking, a master of the vital balance between skepticism and openness. In The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the DarkSagan shares his secret to upholding the rites of reason, even in the face of society’s most shameless untruths and outrageous propaganda.
