Broca's Brain Reflections of the Romance of Science by Carl Sagan gives the reader insight on what we have learned about the universe with enthusiasm and excitement. He explains that science is not a body of knowledge as much as a way of looking at the world - questioning and testing things. When we refuse to accept blindly a piece of information, we are practicing science. The affection for pseudoscience in the absence of evidence - (UFO's etc) becomes less tenable with scientific progress. The author examines the reasons humans cling tenaciously to such notions of pseudoscience a suggests a relationship to their religion or beliefs. "this is a book on the joys of finding out how the world works, on the romance of the scientific endeavor" - from the dust jacket review.
