The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan

5.0

---

Any book that can leave its reader changed in some way is worth a read. My partner recommended this to me, and I am just so glad I read it. Sagan approaches science through the lens of empathy. He challenges different branches of pseudo-science with a sense of nobility, and calls for the dire need of skepticism and an authentic love for curiosity. I loved this book. I didn't know how much I needed to read this (as both an educator and an overall human being), but it was lovely and monolithic and I highly doubt that this will be the last time I pick it up. Ten stars out of five, Mr. Sagan. And thank you for the brilliant recommendation, Ripley.
