Wonderful book! Carl Sagan was a much gentler atheist than Dawkins or Harris. It was so refreshing to hear an atheist discuss religion without a condescending tone. Sagan never once condemned religion. He approached the subject respectfully and scientifically.
An amazing collection of lectures by this amazing man! This is a must read for anyone. Carl Sagan just has a way with words and discussion. There is even a q&a session thrown in at the end (transcripts), which is also amazing.
