Great read. Could also recommend Simon Baron Cohen's book "The Essential 
Difference". He is a researcher, unlike Gurian , at Cambridge UK. His work has 
evolved from work done in the area of Autism. Theres a very real debate going 
on in the Boys Ed community world wide about causes. Nature / nurture etc. 
Socialisation v. Physical difference. 
Gurian has made much of small differences that in other fields would be 
dismissed as within the range of statistical error.  Unfortunately there is a 
need for more research in the area of Physical differences.  Theres some but 
needs to be more. Baron-Cohen makes a substantial contribution as a researcher.
Gurian has been a great advocate and is someone who broadened the focus of the 
debate.
