Synopsis "El Mundo y sus Demonios. La Ciencia Como una luz en la Oscuridad (in Spanish)"

¿Estamos al borde de una nueva edad oscura de irracionalismo y superstición? En este libro conmovedor y argumentado con brillantez, Carl Sagan demuestra que el pensamiento científico es necesario, para salvaguardar nuestras instituciones democráticas y nuestra civilización técnica. El mundo y sus demonios es su libro más personal y está lleno de historias humanas entrañables y reveladoras. El autor, con las experiencias de su propia infancia y la apasionante historia de los descubrimientos de la ciencia, muestra cómo el método del pensamiento racional puede superar prejuicios y supersticiones para dejar al descubierto la verdad, que, con frecuencia, resulta sorprendente. Desenmascara de forma convincente las "abducciones por extraterrestres", el fraude de los curanderos o la "Cara en Marte", entre otras muchas falacias. Rechaza, asimismo, la idea de que la ciencia destruye la espiritualidad o de que es otro sistema arbitrario de creencias. Se pregunta por qué la actividad científica suele ser hoy estigmatizada, discute los peligros de utilizar mal la ciencia y proporciona un "método de detección de camelos" en el pensamiento político, social y religioso.

Carl Edward Sagan (New York, November 9, 1934-Seattle, December 20, 1996) was an American astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist, astrobiologist, writer, and science communicator. Initially, he was an associate professor at Harvard University and later became the principal professor at Cornell University. At the latter, he was the first scientist to hold the David Duncan Professorship of Astronomy and Space Sciences, established in 1976, and was also the director of the Laboratory for Planetary Studies.

He was an advocate for scientific skeptical thinking and the scientific method, a pioneer of exobiology, and a promoter of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence through the SETI project. He encouraged sending messages aboard space probes, intended to inform potential extraterrestrial civilizations about human culture. Through his observations of the atmosphere of Venus, he was among the first scientists to study the greenhouse effect on a planetary scale.

Carl Sagan gained great popularity thanks to the award-winning documentary television series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, produced in 1980, of which he was the narrator and co-author. It was the most-watched series in the history of American public television, with an audience of more than 500 million people in about 60 countries. To accompany the series, the book Cosmos was published. He also wrote the 1985 science fiction novel Contact, which was the basis for the eponymous 1997 film. His publications, which contain 595,000 articles, are archived in the Library of Congress.

He also published numerous scientific articles, and was the author, co-author, or editor of more than twenty popular science books. In 1978, he won the Pulitzer Prize for "General Non-Fiction Literature" for his book The Dragons of Eden.

Throughout his life, Sagan received numerous awards and honors for his work as a communicator of science and culture. Today, he is considered one of the most charismatic and influential science communicators, thanks to his ability to convey scientific ideas and cultural aspects to the general public with simplicity yet rigor.
