<h3>Carl Sagan<BR/>1934 AD - 1996 AD</h3>
<p>Carl Sagan was the first science fiction fan to become a scientist.</p>
<p>Unlike other boring old fart scientists who sit around thumbing their noses at the public like a bunch of performance artists with NEA grants, Carl loved teaching anyone and everyone who would listen just how really cool science is.</p>
<br clear="all"><BR/>
<p>His many books included:
<ul>
<li><i>Cosmos</i>: Science = Beauty = the Universe. 'Nuff said.
<li><i>Braco's Brain</i>: Learn about your simian ancestry.
<li><i>The Demon-Haunted World</i>: Use your brain for more than just playing solitaire with Tarot cards.
<li><i>Contact</i>: Out of which a decent movie was made.
</ul>
</p>
<p> He also has a <a href="http://www.carlsagan.com">web site</a> dedicated to him, but, alas, it is not a very good one.</p>
