the New Science of Building Brain Power

This is a very good read, and an excellent example of real science writing/reporting, where Mr. Hurley correctly explains research study outcomes (not like all the faux newsies today, whose articles bear little resemblance to the actual science research study outcomes). The author makes just one mistake: he mentions Marilyn vos Savant, a columnist for Parade Magazine, as being listed as the woman with the highest IQ - - this was pulled from Guinness Book of Records as being invalid, as she had doctored her scores (her actual score was closer to 130, although having seen vos Savant in an interview, where she appeared bland, mediocre, and not particularly articulate, I would say even that score was a stretch).
