Histoire
Carl Edward Sagan (November 9, 1934-December 20, 1996), born in Brooklyn, NY, was an American astronomer and astrophysicist. His best-known scientific contribution was his research on the possibility of extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by exposure to light. The following is a lecture Sagan gave in 1977 during which he discussed the place, scale and geometry of earth–the third planet from the Sun, formed 4.5 billion years ago–in our solar system.

Histoire
The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.

Description
A prescient warning of a future we now inhabit, where fake news stories and Internet conspiracy theories play to a disaffected American populace
“A glorious book... A spirited defense of science... From the first page to the last, this book is a manifesto for clear thought.” - Los Angeles Times
How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don’t understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions.
Casting a wide net through history and culture, Sagan examines and authoritatively debunks such celebrated fallacies of the past as witchcraft, faith healing, demons, and UFOs. And yet, disturbingly, in today's so-called information age, pseudoscience is burgeoning with stories of alien abduction, channeling past lives, and communal hallucinations commanding growing attention and respect. As Sagan demonstrates with lucid eloquence, the siren song of unreason is not just a cultural wrong turn but a dangerous plunge into darkness that threatens our most basic freedoms.
Praise for The Demon-Haunted World
“Powerful... A stirring defense of informed rationality... Rich in surprising information and beautiful writing.” - The Washington Post Book World
“Compelling.” - USA Today
“A clear vision of what good science means and why it makes a difference... A testimonial to the power of science and a warning of the dangers of unrestrained credulity.” - The Sciences
“Passionate.” - San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle

should be required reading for everyone.
Carl Sagan was my childhood hero. He was a science communicator that made understanding very complicated ideas relatable and easy. Demon-Haunted World explains how critical thinking is absolutely essential to avoid being bamboozled, and to make everything from science, democracy, and day to day life, better.

How wonderful is humanity curiosity and science.
Carl Sagan's beautiful words to expose us the benefits of Science to humans, the book explains to us the importance of knowing the mechanisms of Science over its products. Science has provided wonderful gifts to us, and it is on us to not let ignorance and superstition guide our lives, it is on us to develop our critical thinking skills. This book is still current even after 30 years of being written. One of the most beautiful passages I like is when Carl Sagan declares his love relation with Science.

A Must Read
This book is perhaps more relevant today than when it was written.
It speaks effectively and eloquently to the anti-science movement which has been growing exponentially for many years now.
It’s cliche but this book should be in every classroom and be required reading for teachers and students.
And the narrating is so well done, it’s inconceivable!!

Truly a Candle in the Dark
“The Demon-Haunted World” is a profound and exquisite discussion of the importance of scientific thinking. If I had to recommend only one book for any and every human to read or listen, this would be it. It is hard to believe yet simultaneously telling how unknown this work of Carl Sagan’s is. It is truly one of the brightest candles in the dark that I have seen.
As for the oral/audio performance, I cannot complain. I think it was exceptionally lucid and delivered in a way I imagine Carl Sagan himself would have desired.

Book was great if a little over-elaborated...
I generally enjoyed this audio book but I found it very strange that the primary reader was very British given that Carl Sagan was an iconically American hero.
The book itself was good but it got a bit repetitive and long winded. it could have been compressed by about 40% and still have delivered the same story/information value.
