In his delightfully down-to-earth style, he explores and explains a mind-boggling future of intelligent robots, extraterrestrial life and its consquences, and other provocative, fascinating quandries of the future that we want to see today. Review: Strictly for classic readers. - Excellent buy. Must read. Mass market paperback, so easy to carry anywhere. Review: “All inquiries carry with them some element of risk.” - “Science is based on experiment, on a willingness to challenge old dogma, on an openness to see the universe as it really is.” ― Carl Sagan, Broca's Brain: Reflections on the Romance of Science Carl Sagan is science's poet. I might read Broca's Brain a few times more just to immerse into his almost idyllic prose, not to mention that Carl Sagan has, in a masterful style, tackled a very difficult beast in this book, that of convincing the reader of what makes science tick. Science is a human endeavor, and so is susceptible to all the follies of our nature that plague our worldly pursuits. What makes science special is the very human agreement between its practitioners of putting evidence before faith, and facts before beliefs. A scientist might passionately pursue a question for ages and hypothesize an answer, but if confronted with a better solution will have to abandon his own in favor of the new one. It is this kind of brutal honesty that keeps science useful. But science is not only for the scientist, or the skeptics. It is for all of us! We all have a stake in understanding the world and having a chance to make the right choices and decisions in our everyday lives. We shouldn't be taking the word of a politician or a businessman on issues like global warming, pollution, deforestation and so many more, but be able to actually understand why we should take one side over the other. Science is not hard, in fact it is the only thing that is simple, because it doesn't bulls*** to you. Please, please, please read this book to get an understanding of the beauty and romance of science! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #109,154 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #84 in Astronomy & Astrophysics #170 in Astronomy (Books) #1,107 in Encyclopaedias & Reference Works (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 413 Reviews | ## Images ![Broca's Brain: Reflections on the Romance of Science - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81r1JlLPGGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strictly for classic readers. *by P***I on 2 August 2025* Excellent buy.
