Hmm. Gould's book is generally reckoned to be rather partial and not
particularly accurate - see for example JB Carroll's 'editorial review'
of the second edition in 'Intelligence' about 4 years ago. (sorry -
haven't got the exact reference to hand). Comrey & Lee's book is one of
the better introductions - Loehlin 'latent variable Models' is good if
you're coming to it from a structural equation modelling background.
