Read this book before you watch 'Cosmos'. If you do not, you will be unable to un-hear Sagan while reading.

A great discussion about how we allow magical thinking to shade our perceptions and allow ourselves to be mislead. Sagan and Druyan made excellent points about the degradation of our educational system in particular our shyng away from and even mocking the pursuit of science for science sake.
This should be a required text for any High School Freshman...at the very least specific chapters should be assigned and discussed.

I love Carl Sagan! This man was brilliant! I learned so much from this book. He's able to fluidly speak to the lay person. I recommend this to anyone. It's a fascinating read. Also, his voice is just so soothing. I recommend watching his The Cosmos TV series he made back in 1980.
