This book is a manifesto of science. In it, Sagan summed up his colossal scientific experience. The scientist shatters pseudoscientific myths. The facts, supported by ironclad logical arguments, refute the false scientific theories that have long been passed off as serious research. Sagan teaches the reader to think critically and not to forget about common sense. The book, as the author himself defines it, is the best guide to removing the noodles from false scientific truths, to which he contrasts real discoveries.
