The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan

---

 This book is Sagan's Science promotion masterpiece. Covering a wide array of topics from aliens, to conspiracy, to common superstition and hallucinations Sagan offers a skeptical take on how to apply science and temper the wildly appealing supernatural beliefs. It is evident how strongly he cares for scientific thought and it's positive effect on society and the world. Carl includes several ominous messages about society's progression towards a lazy, science ignorant populace which eerily reflects today's society. For those who have the patience, this is a great read for science and its fans.
