«El mundo y sus demonios» is Carl Sagan's popular science essay, published by Editorial Crítica in paperback (496 pages, in Spanish).
Sagan argues that scientific thinking is essential to safeguard democracy and technical civilization. Drawing on personal memories and the history of science, he shows how rational reasoning dismantles prejudices and superstitions, and exposes frauds such as alien abductions or the face on Mars.
It belongs to the Drakontos collection; the translation from English is by Dolors Udina Abelló.
For readers interested in popular science and in the defense of reason against pseudoscience.
