The Demon-Haunted World
The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark is Carl Sagan’s classic introduction to scientific thinking and skepticism. Aimed at adults and mature teens, it explores how to evaluate claims, recognize pseudoscience, and appreciate the scientific method as a tool for everyday decision-making. Parents value its clear, poetic writing and its relevance for media literacy and critical thinking in today’s information landscape. It’s text-heavy and best suited for patient readers, but as a single purchase or library borrow, it offers lasting value for families who love reasoned debate.
