This fascinating, well-written, and potentially controversial
book is a wide-ranging exploration of the essential issues relevant
to IQ. Charles Locurto examines data on the effectiveness of
preschools; the impacts of adoption, heredity, and the role of
environment; he evaluates the possibility of enhancing IQ in the
early years; and he brilliantly describes and analyzes the major
cases relevant to IQ research. "Sense and Nonsense about IQ" is
truly an excellent sourcebook on the subject of human intelligence
and its measurement.
Locurto reaches conclusions about the benefits of preschools,
adoptions, social class, and family events that will gain attention
and evoke discussion. The balance of the work, neither identifying
with those who follow the extremes of hereditarianism or of
environmentalism, ensures that Locurto's volume will be a most
valuable resource for all with a serious interest in this subject
which has so many far-reaching implications.
