    Remembering Carl Sagan

    Nic is still sad about the death of Carl Sagan.

    December 20, 2006 marks the tenth anniversary of Carl Sagan’s death, and a blog-a-thon about the work and impact of Dr. Sagan is being started.

    His book The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark stands as one of the most lucid and uplifting celebrations of reason and science ever written, and is one of those books you read and then want to press into the hands of everybody around you.

    Thank you, Dr. Sagan.
