The Unofficial Guide to Cosmos: Fact and Fiction in Neil Degrasse Tyson's Landmark Science Series

Neil deGrasse Tyson’s reboot of the classic TV series Cosmos struck a chord with viewers, garnered 12 Emmy Award nominations, and is headed straight into schools as a science teacher’s instructional aid. It’s also an agenda-driven vehicle for scientific materialism, casting religion as arch foe of the search for truth about nature and pressing its message that human beings occupy no special place in the universe. In The Unofficial Guide to Cosmos, contributors Casey Luskin, Jay W. Richards, Douglas Ell, and David Klinghoffer dissect each episode of the new series and explain where Tyson veers from objective science to science-flavored, fact-challenged preaching. Students, parents, and teachers will find this lively compendium a useful counterpoint.
