In the recent IQ controversy, most commentators have failed to question the concept of intelligence, of "its" nature. In a recent issue of this journal, Gonzalez correctly indi cates the anti-democratic nature of the idea of intelligence. However, Gonzalez is incorrect in stating that the concept of in telligence is tied to the growth of monopoly capitalism. Instead, the idea of "intelligence," little changed from the vague concept which exists today, can be shown to pre-date the development of capitalism by centuries.

Examines the relationship between women's maternal, caregiving role & their level of environmental concern, drawing on data from 1,557 respondents to the 1993 General Social Survey. Findings indicate that women show more concern about environmental issues & animal rights than do men, but are no more likely to engage in environmental action. Childrearing has no consistent effects on environmental concern among either women or men, while those with higher levels of education, social status, knowledge, & trust in science are more likely to engage in proenvironmental action. 4 Tables, 47 References.

Examines gender differences in perception of environmental risk, drawing on data from 1,000 respondents to two 1991 national telephone surveys. Findings indicate that women demonstrate more concern over environmental problems, eg, global warming & hazardous waste facility siting. However, when perceptions of health risk are held constant, the level of concern is constant between the sexes. It is concluded that gender differences in environmental concern are largely based on differences in perceived vulnerability to specific risks. 2 Tables, 22 References.
