Brainstrains: Creative Problem-Solving and Logical Thinking : Book 1 : International and Historical Themes

Obviously I am little biased about the book, because I wrote it myself!I notice that Book 1 (for 8 to 14 year olds) is out of print in the US. It, (along with Book 2) are still in print in my homeland, Australia.They are available from Hawker Brownlow Education, in Melbourne, Australia.Book 2 is my favourite. It was first published in 1994 and is for those 12 years to Adult. Covers mathematics, the development of research skills, world history and geography (as does book 1), but additionally contains sections on Debate, Decide and Design - relating to the development of debating, decision making, reasoning, creative thought and design.Each of these aspects are critical outlets for the gifted and talented in our schools and homes.
