Brain Quest thinks outside the box! Announcing Brain Quest WorkBooks, the smart, sleek, rich, friendly, and altogether fun new series of workbooks from America’s #1 educational bestseller with over 28 million copies in print.

Echoing Brain Quest's lively design and unique silhouette, each workbook is a bright, kid-friendly invitation to delve into schoolwork with pleasure. The books are jam-packed with hundreds of curriculum-based activities, exercises, games, and challenges in every subject, but with a special emphasis on the core competencies of math and language skills. They're clear, they're interactive, colorful, and varied. Information is layered throughout the text. Kids will write, draw, solve, connect, add hands to the clocks' faces, and color in the fractional shapes. Six new titles comprise the series, Pre-k through Grade 4; each is a substantial 320-page, full-color book. In addition, each title comes with a pull-out poster, more than 200 stickers, and 100 all-new Brain Quest questions and answers. Even the posters are keyed into the curriculum—in second grade, children study the U.S. states, so the Grade 2 poster will be of the U.S.A., with all capitals, state flags, and state facts.

The primary author for each workbook is an education writer with extensive experience in activity-based learning materials. Additionally, each title is written in consultation with an award-winning teacher from the Brain Quest Advisory Panel specializing in that grade level and its core curriculum.

Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange is the shocking seminal
novel that spawned one of the most notorious films ever made.
Fifteen-year-old Alex and his thrill-seeking gang regularly indulge in
ultra-violence, rape and drugs, but when he is caught and brainwashed
by a government psychologist Alex finds his new law-abiding life
unbearable. Set in a terrifying dystopian future, A Clockwork Orange
is a disturbing exploration of morality and free will.

About The Author

Anthony Burgess was born in Manchester in 1917 and studied English
at the university there. He was drafted into the army upon graduation
in 1940 and spent six years in the Education Corps. After
demobilization, he worked first as a college lecturer in speech and
drama and then as a grammar-school master. From 1954 to 1960 he was an
education officer in the Colonial Service, stationed in Malaya and
Borneo, and it was while he was there that he started writing The
Malayan Trilogy (published in Penguin as The Long Day Wanes). In
1959 Burgess was diagnosed as having an inoperable brain tumour and was
given less than a year to live. He then became a full-time writer and,
proving the doctors wrong, went on to write at least one book a year
and hundreds of book reviews right up until his death in 1993.

A late starter in the art of fiction, Anthony Burgess had previously
spent much creative energy on music, and in his lifetime he composed
many full-scale works for orchestra and other media. His Third
Symphony was performed in the USA in 1975 and Blooms of
Dublin, his musical version of Joyce's Ulysses, was
presented in 1982. He believed that with the fusion of the musical and
literary forms lay a possible future for the novel. His many other
works include Inside Mr Enderby, Enderby Outside, The Clockwork
Testament, Enderby's Dark Lady, Tremor of Intent; Honey for the Bears;
Urgent Copy; Nothing Like the Sun; Man of Nazareth, the basis of
his successful TV script Jesus of Nazareth; Earthly Powers, which
was voted the best foreign novel of 1980 in France; The End of the
World News; The Kingdom of the Wicked, winner of the Prix Europa
in Geneva; The Piano Players; Any Old Iron; A Mouthful of Air; Home
to QWERTYUIOP, an anthology of his reviews and journalism; and two
volumes of autobiography: Little Wilson and Big God, which was
awarded the J. R. Ackerley Prize for 1988, and You've Had Your
Time. A Clockwork Orange was made into a film classic by Stanley
Kubrick and was dramatized by the RSC in 1990. His last novel,
published in the spring of 1993, was A Dead Man inDeptford,
based around the murder of Christopher Marlowe.

The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive historical and contemporary view of the education of Latinos in the United States. It is unique in that it provides readers with accurate information that will deepen their understanding and knowledge about Latinos from preschool to higher education, as well as in special education, gifted education, and migrant and urban education. Topics such as bilingualism and teacher preparation are an integral part of this thorough and eloquent book.

Among culturally and linguistically diverse groups in the United States, the Latino population is the largest and fastest growing. Thus, to prepare for the growing numbers of Latino children and to make the most of their education, educators, researchers, and policymakers must recognize and build on the invaluable resource represented by Latino students. The information provided is based on current research and practice in the field. Our school system continues to underestimate the cognitive and socioemotional potential of Latino students by its limited awareness and representation of the Latino cultural characteristics, social dynamics, interests and abilities, bilingualism, as well as confronting socioeconomic challenges and educational needs. This situation clearly demonstrates a need for a reformulation of educational practice at all grade levels and for the provision of accurate information to assist practitioners and researchers in their knowledge and practice.
