Hot on the heels of Richard Dawkins' best-selling 'The God Delusion' comes the publication of a new Carl Sagan tome entitled 'The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God'. Edited by his wife, Ann Druyan (herself no slouch in the scientific field), the book is a series of edited lectures given by Sagan in 1985.
We're fans here at Globaleyes, and eagerly anticipate this book's release. In fact, if we can be so cheeky, we reckon this would make an excellent xmas present for some of your mates.
From Penguin Books:
'Carl Sagan is considered one of the greatest scientific minds of our time. His remarkable ability to explain science in terms easily understandable to the layman in bestselling books such as Cosmos, The Dragons of Eden, and The Demon-Haunted World won him a Pulitzer Prize and placed him firmly next to Isaac Asimov, Stephen Jay Gould, and Oliver Sachs as one of the most important and enduring communicators of science. In December 2006 it will be the tenth anniversary of Sagan's death, and Ann Druyan, his widow and longtime collaborator, will mark the occasion by releasing Sagan's famous "Gifford Lectures in Natural Theology," The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God.'
