Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The story of this book begins with a hoax. For some years, we have been surprised and distressed by the intellectual trends in certain precincts of American academia."

Industry Reviews
"Sokal and Bricmont step directly into the natural hostility that sizzles between postmodernist philosophy and hard science."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Thomas Lewis (12/27/1998)
