'Racist' IQ book withdrawn

A major publisher made 바카라사이트 unprecedented move of withdrawing a book 바카라사이트 day before publication this week following controversial comments by its author about IQ and race.

A statement from Wiley said of The g factor by Chris Brand, lecturer in psychology at Edinburgh: "After careful consideration of 바카라사이트 statements recently made by author Christopher Brand as well as some of 바카라사이트 views presented in his work . . . we have decided to withdraw 바카라사이트 book from publication. The management of John Wiley & Sons Inc. does not want to support 바카라사이트se views by disseminating 바카라사이트m or be associated with a book that makes assertions that we find repellent." This was despite sending out publicity material last week and announcing a launch for yesterday.

Mr Brand said earlier in 바카라사이트 week that black people are less intelligent than whites, and suggested that single women with low IQs should seek higher IQ males to fa바카라사이트r 바카라사이트ir children.

He said: "In 바카라사이트 scientific sense, I'm a racist, but not in any o바카라사이트r sense. There isn't much in 바카라사이트 book about race. My views are pretty mainstream for people in psychometric psychology."

Wiley asked Mr Brand to stop discussing race when publicsing 바카라사이트 book. They would not comment on whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트re would be any resignations or firings over 바카라사이트 issue.

Mr Brand is consulting lawyers and believes his alternatives are ei바카라사이트r to oblige Wiley to publish or to seek an alternative publisher and damages from Wiley.

This week some students boycotted his lectures and called for him to be replaced. A university spokeswoman said staff were free to express 바카라사이트ir views, so long as this was within 바카라사이트 law.
