""I congratulate Jerry Jacobs for the rigor of his research and the strenuousness of his arguments. There is revealing new information and necessary clarity and clarification in these pages. His critique of some of the most egregious assaults on the disciplines is especially noteworthy and the case studies are valuable. This is a book that we need."" (Harvey J. Graff, author of The Dallas Myth: The Making and Unmaking of an American City)""
