My cite refers, not to their book, but to a short readable summary they just published in Current Directions. Possibly they felt the need to publish that summary because few were willing to take on their formidable tome itself (as Allen notes). In the article I cited, they do list it under "Recommended Reading", and give their own blurb as follows: "Provides a comprehensive, highly accessible overview of what is known about sex differences in math-intensive field, based on more than 400 published studies, and containing the references for many of the claims made in this article". The book is: Ceci, S. and Williams, W. (2010). The mathematics of sex: How biology and society conspire to limit talented women and girls. Oxford. BTW, Ceci kindly responded seemingly within minutes to my e- mail request to him for his article. I didn't ask for the book! Stephen -------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
