HOW MUMBO-JUMBO CONQUERED THE WORLD A Short History of Modern Delusions FRANCIS WHEEN

"Wheen skewers his targets with the kind of rapier-like wit the world has come to expect and enjoy from British masters of the viturperative arts."
Publishers Weekly

"In his controlled pyrotechnic against idiocy, Wheen trots forth its champions, from Deepak Chopra to Thomas Friedman, and douses them with flammable liquid....he also has a handle on other obvious points that seem to have escaped the general notice...Call Wheen on points when aggravated, but he'll make you think hard."
