As a journalist for the Sunday Telegraph and The Spectator, James Delingpole has expressed his thoughts – articulately and amusingly – on everything from politics to popular music, from school sports days to spliffs. If you’ve thought about it, he’s written about it. In this A-Z collection of brief essays he turns his lively mind to modern society gone mad. And what he discovers is that the older you get, the more mad it seems. Can’t understand what’s wrong with much-loved feet and inches? Don’t believe the global-warming hype? Wondering what ever happened to good, old-fashioned universities? Well, join James’s club. Pouring scorn on the state of Britain after a decade of Blair and Brown, How to be Right couldn’t have come along at a more appropriate time. Prepare to foam and splutter, and to be seriously entertained.

The introduction frames the book as a response to a common problem in education: research is everywhere, but meaningful interpretation is rare. The authors argue that educators must become critical consumers of research, capable of identifying methodological strengths, weaknesses, assumptions, and biases. They emphasize that critical reading is not adversarial; it is a disciplined, thoughtful process that empowers educators to make informed decisions.
