Broca's Brain: Reflections on the Romance of Science by Carl Sagan
2.0
Mixed bag of a collection. I remember liking Sagan's DEMON-HAUNTED WORLD, and many of the pure pop-science essays in this collection are good. The skepticism stuff is thin, though, and some of the pure science is actually rather dry, maybe an unfortunate side effect of not much being known beyond some theoretical work. Sagan would almost certainly be overjoyed at the progress we've made in robotic exploration of our solar system and in telescopic exploration of all the others - exoplanetology is a whole field of study now!
2.5 stars rounded down. Didn't quite romance me.
