The Death of Expertise: The Campaign against Established Knowledge and Why it Matters - by Tom Nichols

Overall this was a good book and covered an interesting subject, which is very topical. As it is a fairly recent publication, it is even more topical than might otherwise be expected. The analysis of the subject was detailed, enlightening and interesting. I guess that I find myself neither reassured or surprised by the conclusions.

The book is somewhat typical of this type of American publication. It follows a formula:

1. Tell ‘em what you’re going to say.
2. Say it.
3. Tell ‘em what you just said.

The result is a lot - a lot! - of repetition. This is a good 100 page book that is buried in >250 pages ...
