Dear Abeaujean:

You can find background information about Arthur Jensen at the following 
websites:

Brief background and resume:

Brief listing of previous works (note listing is not complete):
http://www.mugu.com/cgi-bin/Upstream/People/Jensen/

Recent interviews and writings by Arthur Jensen where "g" is mentioned can be 
found at:

Interview (2001):

(Note that only Parts I and II are currently available.)

Writings by Arthur Jensen (various):

(click "search for keywords" and enter Jensen)

Please note that I believe this should provide updated information 
regarding "g," but I am unfamiliar with the two works listed in your question.  
However, I believe that these two sites may provide you with additional 
information.  If not, please ask for an Answer Clarification.

Here is some background on Arthur Jensen: 
Psychologist; born in San Diego, Calif. An educational psychologist at the 
University of California: Berkeley (1958), he concluded in an explosive Harvard 
Education Review article (1969) that on average whites are more intelligent 
than blacks; his subsequent report (1979) that intelligence tests are not race 
biased further stoked the controversy surrounding his work.

He teaches at Berkeley, here is his campus contact info, so that you could 
contact him personally:
