520    Are women victims of a widespread bias in science and 
       engineering, as a 2007 report of the National Academy of 
       Sciences concluded? Or are there other, more plausible 
       explanations for the paucity of women in various 
       quantitative fields? What, if anything, should be done to 
       encourage more women to become engineers and scientists? 
       Anyone looking for a balanced and temperate treatment of 
       this sometimes-contentious topic will welcome this 
       collection of essays from leading academics on both sides 
       of the issue.
