Still one of the best!August 31, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I read this book when it first came out and have purchased it for my grand-daughter so that she may have a realistic view of how our universe works and will not be susceptible to bizzare philosphies which have been so rampant on this planet for the last 10,000 years or so.
Great for polishing your skeptical skills!August 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Carl Sagan was a wonderful man, and was one of the first people to get me interested in science. In this book, he looks over claims of alien abduction, crop circles, visions, astrology, and other pseudoscientific claims. A great read.

Carl Sagan was a great man and had a great way of explaining the awesomeness of the universe to the average man or woman. This book is like that. It allows us to understand logical, rational thaught which we sometimes allow ourselves to ignore. At the very least it will teach you how to win an argument.

When I started reading this book, it seemed to go slow and I thought about giving up. But, as I went on, the relevance of what he wrote made more and more sense. When I was through, I was pleased that I had read it all the way through and now I am a much more critical thinker.
