Pulitzer Prize winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of democratic institutions. Casting a wide net through history and culture, Sagan examines and authoritatively debunks such celebrated fallacies of the past as witchcraft, faith healing, demons, and UFOs. And yet, disturbingly, in today's so-called information age, pseudoscience is burgeoning with stories of alien abduction, channeling past lives, and communal hallucinations, commanding growing attention and respect. As Sagan demonstrates with lucid eloquence, the siren song of unreason is not just a cultural wrong turn but a dangerous plunge into darkness that threatens the most basic freedoms. 541 $d 20170711. 650 7 $a Literacy $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Science $x Methodology $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Science $x Study and teaching $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Science and civilization $v Popular works. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. 700 $a Elwes, Cary, $e narrator. 700 $a MacFarlane, Seth, $e narrator. 700 $a Druyan, Ann, $d 1949- 941 $a 2 945 $a cdab 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515012623.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20180808032704.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17BEFCE29D0011E7B5694BF696128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
