Absolutely fascinating. Davidson has done a remarkable job . . . proves that, for better or worse, scientists can be more human than most humans!" -Sir Arthur C. Clarke "Carl was fond of saying, 'Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.' This is a fascinating book about an extraordinary man-and the evidence is in the reading."-Johnny Carson "Carl Sagan was more than just a scientist. He was a public figure and a personality. Keay Davidson has produced a thoughtful, intimate portrait of the man behind the TV image."-Prof. Lawrence M. Krauss, author of The Physics of Star Trek "A richly detailed biography of perhaps the all-time master of popularizing science. The book is full of reminiscences from both his friends and detractors, and meticulous in exploring the science that made Sagan famous."-Donna Shirley , Manager, Mars Exploration at Jet Propulsion Laboratory and author of Managing Martians "A marvelous and compelling biography. In Davidson's masterful portrait, Sagan's brilliance as a scholar, popularizer, and opponent of nuclear weapons is revealed as clearly as his turbulent emotional life. It will likely remain the definitive biography for years to come." -Prof. Ronald E. Doel, author of Solar System Astronomy in America
