Book
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Lomberg, Jon (jacket illustration); Aulicino, Robert (jacket design) (illustrator). Fine condition black cloth boards with gold spine lettering contained in a very good condition dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Carl Sagan; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Introduction; References; Index and About the Author. The upper jacket spine edge is moderately chipped, some light scattered jacket edge rubbing (see photographs). All pages are in fine condition and the binding is exceedingly tight and square (see photographs). " "We live in an extraordinary age," writes Carl Sagan, one of our leading astronomers. "As long as there have been human beings, we have posed deep and fundamental questions on the origins of consciousness; life on our planet; the beginnings of the Earth; the origins of the Sun; the possibility of intelligent beings somewhere up there, as well as the grandest inquiry of all, the advent, nature and ultimate destiny of the universe. For all but the last instant of human history, these issues have been the exclusive province of philosophers and poets, shamans and theologians. But today, as a result of knowledge painfully extracted from nature through generations of careful thinking, observing and experimenting, we are on the verge of glimpsing at least preliminary answers to many of them." It is with these preliminary solutions that this book is concerned. Our most eloquent spokesman for science to the layman, Dr. Sagan has the rare ability to make the reader share with him his enthusiasm and excitement over what we have found out in the past few years about "that vast universe in which we are embedded like a grain of sand in a cosmic ocean," and most particularly what we have learned about our own solar system. This is a wonderfully lucid account of recent astronomical discoveries, linked to discoveries about the human mind, which Dr. Sagan explored so dramatically in his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Dragons of Eden, and which he has used her as a touchstone against which to try age-old philosophical and theological concepts. Science, Dr. Sagan explains, is not a body of knowledge but a way of looking at the world -- a creative questioning, probing, testing of all things. Whenever we go below the surface, connect two facts, or refuse to accept blindly a piece of received information, we are practicing science. In these terms, the human affection for pseudoscience -- the pernicious belief, in the absence of good evidence, in ancient astronauts, UFO's, ESP, and so on -- becomes less and less tenable in an age that is hovering on the brink of astonishing scientific progress. Dr. Sagan examines the reasons that human beings cling so tenaciously to these notions and suggest a relationship to religious beliefs. He demolishes such borderline science in a model demonstration of the scientific method, and with equal style and vigor pays tribute to the achievements of real science. The true giant figures in this book are Paul Broca, the mid-nineteenth-century French surgeon, neurologist and anthropologist who discovered that different parts of the brain control different kinds of thinking; Robert Goddard, the father of modern space exploration; and Albert Einstein, whose centennial this is. But Dr. Sagan also acknowledges countless others who have pushed forward the frontiers of knowledge. This is a book on the joys of finding out how the world works, on the romance of the scientific endeavor." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
