[ED: Softcover], [PU: John Wiley and Sons], This book was withdrawn by the publisher, Wiley (UK & USA) and never sold in any bookstore. - However, "The g Factor" was reviewed in Nature (2 May 1996, p.33) by N. J. Mackintosh, Professor of Psychology, University of Cambridge, as a "radical libertarian" contribution to debates on education providing "spirited attacks on....Stephen Jay Gould and Steven Rose [and] the massed battalions of the politically correct...." Mackintosh said "[Brand] develops a strong argument for individual freedom of choice in education." The book said that children are not largely the creatures (let alone the victims) of their environments, except in so far as adults deny them serious choice; and that parents, after receiving advice about IQ, should be able to help children choose how fast they progress through school {cf. 'fast track learning', advocated by Mr Tony Blair in February, 1996}. Mackintosh condemned Wiley's "singularly cack-handed attempt at censorship" which, he said, raised doubts about the firm's "good sense, competence and integrity." - This copy was a gift of the author to the owner, who signed it.
