Having studied math in both the French and American education systems, I do think the American one(described here) is flawed, and needs a revamp. The French one isn't perfect, but it did spark my interest a lot more than the tired US system.
I really think I would buy that book. He should write a series about the different fields of mathematics, putting them each into a perspective that is interesting and easy to understand. When taught well, math really is a cool/wonderful world.
