This shorter version of Barron's GMAT test prep manual offers extensive advice on preparing for the computer-adaptive test, which is the only version of the GMAT currently given. Like the larger book, this manual presents reviews, advice, and brush-ups that apply to reading comprehension, sentence correction, critical reasoning, math problem solving, and an analytical writing assessment. It also presents paper-and-pencil versions of three practice GMATs with answers and analyses.

In this series for younger boys and girls, each book features cartoon-style illustrations superimposed on vivid full-color photos that show different people in different cultures using different means of travel. The cartoons complementing each photo depict kids with their parents. Each parent is a vehicle driver of one kind or another—but the vehicle type depends entirely on where the story takes place! For instance, Maria is a little girl whose mother is a taxi driver in bustling New York City. Other kids and their parents live in Alaska, and travel by dog sled . . . or in a tropical rain forest, where touring visitors are taken on a safari . . . or in the bush country of Australia's Outback, where the most common way for people to go places is to fly around in light aircraft. The photos on every page capture the contrasting scenic backgrounds and highly individual atmospheres of each book's place. Meanwhile, boys and girls will identify with the cartoon illustrations of kids and parents, as they learn a little bit about how people live and travel in different places. Early-grade teachers will value these wonderfully illustrated books as fine introductions to social studies.

Acrylics is the fourth volume to date in Barron's Creative Techniques series. Written for advanced art students and professionals, each of these titles focuses on a specific medium and demonstrates a variety of different approaches that will produce highly original effects. In many cases, examples of works by well-known artists are presented for purposes of demonstration. Acrylics are plastic-base pigments available in tubes, jars, and even in squeeze bottles. They produce unusually vivid opaque colors and virtually unlimited textural effects. Easy to mix and work with, acrylics have become a favorite medium among many contemporary artists. This book presents step-by-step exercises that demonstrate creative use of acrylics in highly original renderings of landscapes, human figures, cityscapes, abstract paintings, and more. The text is supplemented with hundreds of color photos and illustrations.
