Mumbo-jumbo
I'm reading Francis Wheen's, How Mumbo-jumbo conquered the world. There is an opportunity for a book of similar levity and hard-nosed evidence to be written for education. Few of the new age gurus go untouched as he meticulously and carefully dissects the pomp, the false and the stupid over the past few decades.
Wheen, Francis (2004) How Mumbo-jumbo conquered the world, Harper Perennial, London.
