From the Publisher:

The Talisman, one of Sir Walter Scott's greatest novels, is the story of a Scottish Knight who sets out for the Holy Land during the Third Crusade to join Richard the Lion-Hearted in the confrontation between Christianity and Islam.
Avoiding the common ideological stereotypes we so often hear today, Scott articulates through this classic story the real issue between the two religions without cant or prejudice.
This book is like a toolbox, full of different kinds of tools you can use for different thinking tasks. Just as you use the wrench in a regular tool box to fix the sink, so you can use the tools we give you in this book to solve thinking problems.
Now your child can enjoy The Time Machine by H.G. Wells as a Michael Clay Thompson language-illustrated classic. The novel is reproduced in its entirety and includes Michael's "language illustrations"—close-ups of poetic techniques, four-level analyses of interesting grammar, and comments about writing strategies. Challenging vocabulary is defined at the bottom of each page.
According to Michael, the novel is "a supreme work of the imagination, a work so captivating in its vivid description of the distant future that the reader scarcely notices the radical art of the work, such as the almost total absence of dialogue and the fact that the main character is never named. The astounding final chapters are visionary to a degree almost unique in literature.... The novel has it all: brilliant vocabulary, reflection on the implications of science, subtle and wry commentary on governmental and social systems, reflections on morality, a deep portrait of a creative genius whose mind isolates him even from his friends, luminous poetic writing, dazzling images...everything. It is a one-book humanities course."
The Transparent Eyeball guidebook, for both instructors and the students themselves, explores the philosophical bases behind the concepts introduced in the novel and includes excerpts of works by Thoreau, Emerson, Alcott, Wordsworth, Margaret Fuller, and others who were central to the Transcendentalist Movement. It also provides in-depth discussion questions about both the readings and the novel.
