I think the book is interesting, but I'm slightly disappointed it really wasn't about street-fighting.
I think a lot about mathematics education is a domain issue. Problems are too easily wrapped up in tedious domains that don't engage the imagination. For one of my nationally-assessed Maths projects at school, the teacher had us analyzing football (soccer) scores, looking at standard deviations and the like. The class was far more engaged with the math than I'd ever seen them.
All boys dream of being a bad-ass, so I'm sure mathematics in the domain of street-fighting would also work! ("A perp is able to accelerate his fist at 10 m/s, and his fist has a weight of about 0.5kg. A broken jaw requires 4N of force. How much force will he put in your face? Will he break your jaw?")
