The Global Bell Curve: Race, IQ and Inequality Worldwide is a book by Lynn, originally published Washington Summit Publishers in 2008. The book's stated purpose is to determine whether the racial and socioeconomic differences in the United States in average IQ, as originally claimed by the 1994 book The Bell Curve, also exist in other countries. Lynn's book claims that such differences exist in other countries, in addition to in the United States. It was reviewed favorably by researchers J. Philippe Rushton,[90] Donald Templer in white nationalist publication The Occidental Quarterly,[91] and Gerhard Meisenberg.[92][unreliable source?]
A less favorable review of the book was written by Wendy Johnson of the University of Edinburgh, who wrote in Intelligence, which had Lynn on its editorial board,[93] that "... despite many possible statistical and psychometric quibbles, the data Lynn presents in this book are essentially correct. At the same time, despite Lynn's protestations to the contrary, these data do little or nothing to address the questions of why this is the case or whether the situation is inevitable or permanent. Like the other theorists he criticizes, Lynn confuses correlation with causation."[94]
This copy includes the all-important information on tables 13.2 (pages 267) and 13.3 (page 268), which include the comparisons of races/ethnicities on intelligence and SAT. As far as I can tell, all extant electronic copies have those two pages missing ... except for my mine.
