Preface of this version
Presentation
In the Spring of 1996, a new book about intelligence andeducation, THE
g
FACTOR, created shock waves inBritain by tracing educational failure largely to geneticdeficiency in mental speed. The book, by an EdinburghUniversity academic, appeared after years in whicheducationalists and the media had played down tovanishing point the importance of inheritance in yieldingindividual and group differences in attainment. Britain'spolitically correct academics were aghast to find fast tracklearning and streaming urged by a psychologist (as it hadbeen by British Labour leader Tony Blair in a majorspeech in February, 1996). Under pressure from self-styled'anti-racists', the New York-based academic publishinghouse, Wiley, unilaterally broke its contract with authorChris Brand by de-publishing the book for 'racism.'After years of hysterical attacks on hereditarian theoristslike Cyril Burt, Hans Eysenck and Arthur Jensen, it is timeto show that London School ideas continue to stand andwill not be defeated by intimidation, suppression orsacking.
