This book has influenced me more than any other, except perhaps Dr. Sagan's Cosmos. Together they helped me crystallize my thinking, and why I liked, science, history and understand how important knowledge of these topics are.

So good. Sagan had one of the greatest minds in human history.

My son gave me this book to read <3 thanks Rob

Started reading this today. Sagan's plea for science over mysticism and religion. Carl Sagan ftw.

"Para mim, é muito melhor compreender o universo como ele realmente é do que persistir no engano, por mais satisfatório e tranquilizador que possa parecer."

When I'm struggling to come up with polite comments about pseudo-science... I just refer to Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

El Mundo y sus Demonios de Carl Sagan. Lectura obligada para todo el mundo.

Only on chapter 3 and already had my mind blown a few times.

He tardado pero ya casi lo acabo. Amo a Carl Sagan =D

Truly utterly terrifying exposition of fanaticism and statism as the main propagators of psuedoscience and a hatred of reason... Sagans awe for real, skeptical science and flare for writing are astounding.

Capitulo 8. Sobre a distinção entre visões verdadeiras e falsas.

Read for a bit, then bed. Need to finish this book.

Carl Sagan is crazy. Lol. Love how he Dubunks everything, but allows room for error.

Get a few chapters in before bed.

Get in a couple of chapters before bed.

Carls Sagan es un PRO

Por fin acabé el libro, me tomó todo el verano en leerlo jajaja, bueno eso pasa por dejar de leer todos los días. Y ahora ya tengo que empezar a leer los libros de Vargas Llosa para la clase de otoño. Genial libro y ya veo por que a algunos les ha cambiado la vida (Como a Aleiex) y querer dedicarse a la constante búsqueda científica.
