The demon-haunted world: science as a candle in the dark : draft
Summary
A full draft of Carl Sagan's book, The demon-haunted world: science as a candle in the dark, published in 1995. Intended for a general audience, the book focuses on distinguishing science from pseudoscience, focusing specifically on witches, UFOs, ESP, and faith healing. The book illustrates Sagan's commitment to promoting the importance of critical and skeptical thinking and rigorous questioning of ideas and arguments. Sagan marked up this draft with a considerable amount of cross outs, rewrites and additions. In cases where Sagan wrote notes on the back of printed pages those pages were digitized.
