A World Full of Demons: Science - Like a Candle in the Dark

This is the last book by Carl Sagan, an astronomer, astrophysicist, and outstanding popularizer of science, released after his death. This book, dedicated to one of his favorite topics — the human mind and the fight against pseudoscientific nonsense — is a kind of summary of all his work. Myths about Atlantis and Lemuria, faces on Mars and encounters with aliens, magic and reincarnation, clairvoyance and the yeti, creationism and astrology — Sagan systematically and ruthlessly debunks the myths created by ignorance, fear, and greed.
