The Eternally Curious Carl Sagan
Despite his critics, many in the scientific community itself, Sagan brought the human story of science to people, recognizing the responsibility to educate people in a way that spoke first to their humanity and second to their logic. We will do well to emulate this approach in the 21st century as we contend with all manners of illogic and unreason that he warned of in The Demon Haunted World.
His PBS series Cosmos still stands alone as a pinnacle of achievement in science communication. I wrote an essay for the ten-year-anniversary of his death entitled "The Eternally Curious Carl Sagan". You can read it here:

Carl Sagan was one of the most brilliant, charismatic people of our time. And he is dearly missed.

We need more science popularizers with distinctive voices and elocution like Sagan's.

I really love Sagan's work. "Contact" is a great work of fiction. "The Demon Haunted World" is one of my favourites, as is "Billions and Billions", the book of essays he put together just before he died. That man left a wonderful legacy.

One of my favorite books by Carl Sagan was "Dragons of Eden". I've read it three times and I feel like reading it again.
