1.The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the DarkThe Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
from Ballantine Books
Price: $8.94

Customer Review:
I have great respect for Carl Sagan...when he sticks to his chosen area of expertise! But any scientist knows that you can't prove a negative. Why, then, does Carl attempt to do just that? Why does he venture into the fields of the unknown...UFOs, crop circles, the paranormal...areas that are each... more info

You need to have this book if you are interested in science or just about anything else. I bought the book when it was originally published but had to buy this republish since it contains major updates. Got to have it.

4.Jupiter s TravelsJupiter's Travels
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $9.24

Customer Review:
A rarity - an honest travel diary. While nothing truly bizarre, criminal, or perverse is revealed, the author's willingness to display his confusion, conflict, and emotional turmoil elevates his book up from I-went-there-I-did-this to literature.

5.CosmosCosmos
from Ballantine Books
Price: $3.86

Customer Review:
Carl Sagan was (sadly not an IS) the prime conveyor of knowledge of our Universe..
His ability to convey to the common man how "Things worked" has never been surpassed. Simply put... He had his own way of sharing this knowledge, that will never be surpassed by anyone.... His imprint is here in... more info

6.The Geek Atlas: 128 Places Where Science and Technology Come AliveThe Geek Atlas: 128 Places Where Science and Technology Come Alive
from O'Reilly Media
Price: $17.74

Customer Review:
The Geek Atlas is an awesome book. It goes through and talks about 128 places to visit where interesting scientific things occurred. In addition to that for each place, there are 1-2 pages explaining something technical that is related to that location. This book is a must read!

7.The Canon: A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of ScienceThe Canon: A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science
from Mariner Books
Price: $1.48

Customer Review:
What a great idea behind this book, and what an opportunity squandered by the author, who would rather show off her knowledge and sad attempts at wit than present scientific ideas in a clear, simple, and engaging manner! If anything, this book is the very opposite of clear, simple, and engaging. It... more info

9.Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in SpacePale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space
from Ballantine Books
Price: $8.05

Customer Review:
I really enjoyed the beginning of this book when he talks about religions and supernatural claims and how they inhibit our species to progress. Reading Carl Sagan's books feels like coming up for air for the first time in a long time. The only issue I would postulate would be that it was written in... more info

10.LongitudeLongitude
from Topeka Bindery

Customer Review:
Another great read by Dava Sobel, with complex technical, political, and historical issues boiled down to their essence. Longitude is the story of the common man, self-educated and modest, who succeeded where the giants had failed. Unfortunately Harrison could have used a modern PR man to make his... more info
