Although Sokal and Bricmont focus on the abuse and misrepresentation of science by a dozen French intellectuals, their book broaches a much larger topic--the uneasy place of science and understanding of scientific rationality in contemporary culture. "Thomas Nagel, The New Republic"
An excellent discussion . . . a plea for a sensible understanding of science and a welcome antidote to irrationality. "Simon Moss, Houston Chronicle""
