Demon-Haunted World Paperback – Deckle Edge, 25 February 1997

A good read for person who wants to understand how science works...not by miracles and not by claiming to have answers for everything.

Must read for everybody

There are very few books that leave a lasting impression on a reader and this is one of them.This book addresses critical questions about the universe, fallible tabloids, hallucination and so much more. The beauty of carl sagan's mind is that he has always been curious about the things which others feel are ignorant and refuse to research or make efforts to dig deeper. Critical thinking and Skepticism are the mosy essential tools and each every human being should use to live a life with provable facts and theories not the religious books ambiguity.

It's an interesting book by Carl Sagan! Informative and helpful in seeing things in different perspectives!

This book provides a sense and perspective for understanding the fundamental reality of our existence and characteristics of living. While teaching the so called “Skepticism” , it opens the door to understand inexplicable human fallibility. Everyone must keep Carl Sagan’s “baloney detection kit”, so that we can make better decisions on irrational things existing in our society. It humbled me down in many areas. It really did. Tons of facts and truths debunking the illogical accusations and fallacies of science, religion, economy, politics and philosophy. Sense of enlightenment guaranteed. A must read. An absolute delight!

Just read it… you will evolve…

Like other wonderful science write ups by Carl Sagan, this book is also a pleasure to read. It shatters some of the myths and superstitions which even the educated people believed . Carl Sagan in his inimitable, simple style demolished many of the demons in this world. His objective analysis and scientific pursuit in mysteries such as the existing of flying saucers or mysterious crop circles prompts readers to approach matters in a scientific manner before blindly believing in their existence.At times, he goes back to his childhood and college days and shares his nostalgic memories in pursuit of truth behind the science. Recommended for all students, especially those who are interested in scientific investigations of mysterious matters that puzzle our mind.Prem
