A world full of demons: science - like a candle in darkness. 5th edition. Sagan K.

“World full of demons” is the last book of Karl Sagan, Astronomer, Astrophysics and an outstanding popularizer of science, which came out after his death. This book, dedicated to one of his loved ones to the human mind and the struggle against pseudo -scientific stupidity, is a kind of result of his work. Myths about Atlantis and Lemuria, faces on Mars and meetings with aliens, magic and reincarnation, clairvoyance and snowy man, creationism and astrology - Sagan sequentially and mercilessly exposes myths created by ignorance, fear and barking. This book is a skeptic manifest, a textbook of common sense and a scientific method. A bright, deeply personal text is not only a battle with a pseudo -nouse, but also an amazing picture of the formation of a scientific worldview, the greatest discoveries and ascetics.

The science for a sagan is pure joy, it is amazing in itself. Take at least a few facts: all the information about a person is contained in each body of the body, quasars are so far that their light began to radiate towards the ground even before it formed; All people are relatives and come from the same ancestors who lived a few million years ago. Science opens up unprecedented opportunities, and humanity has long been no need to come up with idols and allow manipulating oneself.
