A world full of demons. Science - like a candle in darkness

This is the last book of Karl Sagan, an astronomer, astrophysicist and an outstanding popularizer of science, published after his death. This book, dedicated to one of his loved ones to the human mind and the fight against pseudo -scientific stupidity, is a kind of result of all 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 self -interest.
It is precisely as a personal journey through space that the whole scientific and writing life of Sagan is built. He participated in the study of the atmosphere of Venus, the satellites of Jupiter and Uranus, the development of space probes and messages to an alien mind. Knowledge about the climate of other planets led Sagan to the reasonable conclusion about the danger of global warming on the native planet, and the search for an alien mind encouraged to be interested in the nature of reason and unreasonableness. The holder of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, NASA medals, the status of a great American and so many awards that in his honor a memorial award for space research is named after Karl Sagan
