Title: Fake History Cooked to Order
Review: teachers and librarians deserve to be forewarned that this book provides hard evidence that complaints about "political correctness" are not mere right-wing fantasy. Teresi's understanding of mathematics and science is, despite apparent credentials, fatally shallow and distorted. His willingness to concoct historically insupportable myths that are pleasing to his political sensibilities is obvious on every page. His eagerness to insinuate himself into the good graces of the supposed educators who incessantly preach the virtues of "multiculturalism" and the vices of "eurocentrism" is palpable and pervasive. The book is, in short, a stew of junk science and fake history. But in these peculiar times, it will probably sell very briskly to certain people who mean well but think badly.
Is the review positive or negative?
