      abstract = {From the Publisher:  A cultural history of the last forty  years, The Age of American Unreason focuses on the  convergence of social forces-usually treated as separate  entities-that has created a perfect storm of  anti-rationalism. These include the upsurge of religious  fundamentalism, with more political power today than ever  before; the failure of public education to create an  informed citizenry; and the triumph of video over print  culture. Sparing neither the right nor the left, Jacoby  asserts that Americans today have embraced a universe of  "junk thought" that makes almost no effort to separate fact  from opinion.},
