Krátky popis
How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly
technology-driven lives if we don't understand the difference
between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of
science? 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 our 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 our most basic freedoms.
