Excellent book. Very concise, and despite having a clear empiricist purview the empirical parts were is acceissble for expert and layman alike. Controversial as this topic is the writing never skimmed over important parts for political correctness' sake nor was it an apologetical pamphlet. The book bears many memorable sections and quotable sentences which can be useful in the context of nature vs nurture debates.

Excellent. I recommend this book

Very technical in its report of racial disparities in various areas.

Well, I tried. And I may try again later. But at about the 6% mark, I hit an extended explanation of statistics (or as we called it in college: sadistics). I had the same trouble this time as I did the first time I tried to understand this subject. It was just slightly over my head and I felt like if I could sit up just a little bit taller I could catch some of it. It's a long enough section that it's going to take all day to read it. And given my proven problem with understanding the subject matter, I don't want to put it down in the middle and come back to it the next day.

I suppose you might suggest skipping that section and reading the rest of the book, but I think that might not work. I think there will probably be other sections of the book that will depend on my having read this information, even if I don't completely understand it.

Anyway, if I come back to this book, I'll let you know. In the meantime, buyer beware.
