520    "Does your family make you smarter? James R. Flynn 
       presents an exciting new method for estimating the effects
       of family on a range of cognitive abilities. Rather than 
       using twin and adoption studies, he analyses IQ tables 
       that have been hidden in manuals over the last 65 years, 
       and shows that family environment can confer a significant
       advantage or disadvantage to your level of intelligence. 
       Wading into the nature vs. nurture debate, Flynn banishes 
       the pessimistic notion that by the age of seventeen, 
       people's cognitive abilities are solely determined by 
       their genes. He argues that intelligence is also 
       influenced by human autonomy - genetics and family 
       notwithstanding, we all have the capacity to choose to 
       enhance our cognitive performance. He concludes by 
       reconciling this new understanding of individual 
       differences with his earlier research on intergenerational
       trends (the 'Flynn effect') culminating in a general 
       theory of intelligence."--|cProvided by publisher
