"The purpose of the social sciences is to explain us to ourselves. Then why do so many sociologists, psychologists and other pundits write in such inexplicable, inextricable prose? Why are their simplest observations cloaked in an impenetrable jargon? Why do the areas in which they are supposedly expert become increasingly confusing? In this pungent, stimulating and unconventional book Professor Andreski gives some answers which may not make him many friends in the citadels of academic orthodoxy. Obscurity, he points out, is the refuge of mediocre minds..." (from the dustjacket).
