Picked this up at the bag sale at Yesterday's Rose thrift store in Fairfax, Virginia.

This is a collection of essays, all somehow related to science. I read it over the course of several months - not because it wasn't interesting, but because sometimes I just wasn't in the mood for it. The articles on skepticism and the history of science were fascinating, but the later descriptions of the "current" situation in astronomy and planetary science was more than a touch dated. (It was written in the 1970s.) All the same, it was still Sagan, and I do so enjoy reading Sagan. I look forward to his other works.

Sending this to a fellow Swap-Bot member. I hope you enjoy it!

I read this years ago and loved it! I'll probably browse it, read a few and then pass it along to my son.

Couldn't get into it this time. I've read some of the essays before. I'm going to pass it along now.
