The premature death of Carl Sagan robbed us of a voice worth listening to. However, I recently picked up a copy of one of his books, published from beyond the grave, as it were: The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
The book is composed of rediscovered transcripts of a series of lectures that he gave back in 1985. They are as relevant today, perhaps even more so, than as when he first delivered them. The wit, compassion, curiosity, and intellectual integrity of the man shines through on every page. Absolutely stunning.
