""A powerful and fascinating work that reads like a book for a general audience, but maintains all the rigor of a serious scientific publication… I urge any reader wishing to understand why so many people (many of whom you've met, or are perhaps related to) insist on replacing clear thinking with dogmatism. Ms. Johnson's book is a major achievement.”--Steven Goldberg, Professor Emeritus of City College, City University of New York and author of Fads and Fallacies in The Social Sciences “Dr. Johnson ably confronts one of the most pressing dangers of our time, dogmatic thinking in all its forms. This important and timely examination of its roots, the processes involved, and possible societal remedies will be interest to all who value reason, and should be required reading for anyone dealing with the many enemies of reason on society's behalf.”--Professor James Alcock, PhD, Department of Psychology, Glendon College, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
