This is author-approved bcc. If it is too long, delete the last sentence in each of the biographies. THE BELL CURVE by Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray, a best selling book published in 1994, set off a hailstorm of controversy about the relationships among IQ, genetics, and various social outcomes, including welfare dependency, crime, and earnings. Much of the public reaction to the book was polemical and did not focus on the details of the science and in particular on the validity of the statistical arguments that underlie the books's conclusions. A detailed understanding of the arguments in THE BELL CURVE requires knowledge about (i) statistical models for genetic heritability, (ii) factor analysis, especially as it has been applied to the analysis of IQ tests, (iii) logistic regression and multiple regression analyses, and (iv) causal modelling and alternative statistical frameworks for making inference from longitudinal data. In this volume a group of statisticians and social scientists have assembled a scientific response to THE BELL CURVE. The sixteen chapters begin by presenting an overview of the scientific and statistical issues and summarize the material in Herrnstein and Murray's book. Then separate chapters by various experts deal with more focused issues, including reanalyses of data relied upon by the authors of THE BELL CURVE. The final chapters consider some of the implications of the work described in the book for American public policy and scientific research.

It holds so many plugs!
Size: 6.5 Ft, Color: Black
I am using this to plug all of my Christmas village pieces in. I haven't used it yet, but it's going to be great to keep the plugs all in one area.

well designed
I have two of these. The number and orientation of outlets has fit all my needs. I haven't needed the USB's yet, but I'm glad they are there. The thin plug and off-center angle are very useful. One is in use under my three seat power reclining sofa, guitar multi-effects, and a couple lamps are plugged into it. The other is in a drawer powering the air pump, power filter, lighted hood and heater for the aquarium on top of the dresser it is in.

Needs better hardware
Size: 6ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
Yoooooo great product but what is with the comically tiny screws? Actually installing this on the underside of a wooden desk is near impossible unless, of course, you are in fact a Disney princess and in charge of a team of handy-dandy mice all with #0 Phillips head screwdrivers and 5/32" drill bits. They drill, you hold, kind of thing.
