by Stephen J. Gould. A book that refutes the argument of the Bell Curve. Definitely required reading for anyone who despises strict recourse to quantitative data (cough*joel). Reads quick, reads well.

This is great stuff to have at you back when arguing with dogmatic statisticians; Gould himself was trained as a human computer and uses these skills to take his enemies to task. oh yeah, it also helps with radical critiques of the way we conceptualize race. enjoy.
