Title: Enlightening
Review: This is the first book of Carl Sagan's that I read based on recommendations from various people. In it, he explains what science is really about and how we have nothing to fear from it as some people might claim. In fact, we owe a lot to science and it is perhaps the only hope we have in the battle against ignorance. Various topics and world affairs are addressed in an eloquent way so as to be within the grasp of anyone. This is not a book on atheism even though the controversial topic of religion does come up now and then. You should not fear it landing in the hands of your 12 year old. I just wish I had read and understood it sooner myself. It is truly a life-changing book for those interested in seeking the truth about our world and universe. It should be made required reading in schools.
