Soft Cover. Zustand: Very Good. Text in English. 243 pp. Some wear on the spine and edges. In a series of provocative conversations with Skeptic magazine senior editor Frank Miele, renowned University of California-Berkeley psychologist Arthur R. Jensen details the evolution of his thoughts on the nature of intelligence, tracing an intellectual odyssey that leads from the programs of the Great Society to the Bell Curve Wars and beyond. Miele crossexamines Jensen's views on general intelligence (the g factor), racial differences in IO, cultural bias in IO tests, and whether differences in IO are due primarily to heredity or to remediable factors such as poverty and discrimination. With characteristic frankness, Jensen also presents his view of the proper role of scientific facts in establishing public policy, such as Affirmative Action. Frank Miele is senior editor for Skeptic. His interviews include conversations with evolutionists Richard Dawkins and E. O.

His articles have appeared on many Web pages, including those of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society.…
