For Salon’s first annual What To Read Awards, we surveyed our favorite book critics, both print and online, from high-profile publications to the hottest literary blogs. We asked for their top-10 books of 2012, and then tabulated the winners by assigning 10 points for a No. 1 selection, 9 for No. 2, all the way to 1 point for No. 10. Some critics did not want to rank their top-10; we assigned a fixed value to those ballots. Our voters’ top-10 is below.

Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science ( French : Impostures Intellectuelles ), published in the UK as Intellectual Impostures , is a book by Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont .

The book was published in French in 1997, and in English in 1998; the English editions were revised for greater relevance to debates in the English-speaking world. [ 2 ] As part of the so-called science wars , the book criticizes postmodernism in academia for what it claims are misuses of scientific and mathematical concepts in postmodern writing.

By: Haris Ioannides - Armida Publications Going through this impressive list by onlineschools.org , I have to admit that the books mentioned definitely deserve being there.
