Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors
Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan

Ballantine Books, 1993

Years later, still effective
I read this as a teenager when it first came out, and am in the middle of giving it another read. I was worried that it would be outdated information, but it really covers the subject well and any new information just compliments what this book is saying. I recommend ...
  
  











  



  
Cosmos
Carl Sagan

Ballantine Books, 1985

read what you can of it, but READ it!
This is an incredible book, even if it is dated. I am a words person, not numbers, so when Sagan got into a lot of equations and chemistry, I had to kind of skim over those parts. I never could have understood them, and if I'd tried to force myself to, I probably would ...
  
  











  



  
Broca's Brain: Reflections on the Romance of Science
Carl Sagan

Ballantine Books, 1986

The antidote to science class
Most of us who have been educated in the American public school system quickly learned to dread science classes as one of the more boring times of the day. The study of science class in elementary school was usually a teacher reading the text and often being reluctant ...
  
  











  



  
The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God
Carl Sagan

Penguin Press HC, The, 2006

Buy this book!
In general, speeches are boring and usually put me to sleep. The 1980's were sooooo long ago, anything new or revolutionary discussed in the 80's should be totally obsolete by now. Somehow, Carl Sagan made this series of speeches back in the 80's that are interesting ...
  
  











  



  
Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space
Carl Sagan

Ballantine Books, 1997

Carl Sagan, the man speaks for Earth
It's hard to believe Pale Blue Dot has been with me for over 8 years, it is also the 8 year during which I was transformed by the intelligence and wisdom of Dr. Sagan, and of course, his other works Cosmos and The Demon Haunted World become my favorites. Pale Blue ...
  
  











  



  
The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan

Ballantine Books, 1997

Changed my live and views! I love you Carl!
This one book helped me to reject 9 years worth of silly occult beliefs. I suppose I didn't 100% believe them, but they were things I wanted to believe. I knew that this book would change me and for awhile I was even nervous to read it, but a few months ago, my time ...
  
  











  



  
The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence
Carl Sagan

Ballantine Books, 1986

The Dragons of Sagan
This is an instructive and entertaining book, but there is an underlying philosophical message that the reader needs to be aware of. "The Dragons of Eden" is based on a theory that divides the human brain into three concentric layers that have evolved over millions ...
  
  











  



  
Billions & Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium
Carl Sagan

Ballantine Books, 1998

At the end of a remarkable life
As he knowingly faced the end, Sagan bravely shared his views on a number of subjects: science, politics, philosophy, and the environment. Here are the departing words from a man who spent his life in search of knowledge about nature, not in pursuit of wealth. His ...
  
  











  



  
Contact
Carl Sagan

Pocket, 1997

The audio version is incredible
My regrets that I watched the movie and then bought the book. I read the the first few chapters and was a little thrown off by the difference in Dr. Arroway's character. A few months later (book half read) I received the audio version as a late birthday present, and I ...
  
  











  



  
The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God
Carl Sagan

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

Carl Sagan Knows How To Reason Effectively
I became aware of Carl Sagan when I first watched his TV series, COSMOS, many years ago. Not only was he a fine communicator, but it was clear that he was also a sound thinker. I was attracted to this latest work, a compilation of his 1985 presentation of the ...
  
  











  



  
Earth Under Siege: From Air Pollution to Global Change

That need has now been supplied in the present book by Richard Turco." --the Foreword by Carl Sagan This acclaimed book examines one of the most important problems facing our modern technological age: ...
  
  











  



  
Intelligent Life in the Universe
I. S Shklovskii, Carl Sagan

Holden-Day, 1966

This is the first rational book to address the probability..
of life elsewhere inthe universe. I read it first sometime in the late Sixties or early Seventies as an undergrad in engineering/physics/math. Carl Sagan created a wonderful book which has stayed with me over the course of almost 30 years now. Tim Niles
  
  











  



  
Murmurs of Earth
Carl Sagan

Ballantine Books, 1979

Through the darkness...
With recently announced initiatives directing us to space exploration once again, with the space shuttle again in orbit, and with the recent announcement of a tenth planet discovered, it is worthwhile to look back at a piece of history in the first great era of ...
  
  











  



  
Carl Sagan's Cosmic Connection: An Extraterrestrial Perspective
Carl Sagan

Cambridge University Press, 2000

The Musings of A Great Intellect
While it was first published over twenty five years ago and new scientific knowledge has rendered some of the "facts" and conclusions invalid, this book is still one that will fascinate you. For Sagan's writings are not about the knowledge of the moment but about ...
  
  











  



  
The Cold and the Dark: The World After Nuclear War
Paul, R. Ehrlich, Carl Sagan, ...

W. W. Norton & Company, 1984

Nuclear Winter
This book is about nuclear winter, and what scientists have determined it will probably be like. Before I say anything else, let me state as clearly as possible that I am not an expert in this topic. Sometimes it isn't always clear, reading Amazon.com reviews, ...
