The Brown family lived in a quiet, old-fashioned English village, under the shadow of the everlasting hills. This is where Tom was born, the eldest son of Squire Brown, Justice of the Peace, and his good-natured wife. The Browns were a fighting family, and Tom was a fighter from the first.

Bad Girls Go Everywhere: The Life of Helen Gurley Brown

From Brown's first book, Sex and the Single Girl, a bold precursor to today's unapologetic Sex in the City, to her editing of the most widely read women's magazine in the world, Brown defied traditional mores to proclaim the unmarried woman's right to happiness. The first woman to publicly say there was another role available in the conservative context of the 1960s, Brown offered American women a revelation that resulted in a revolution. 

Best-selling author H. Douglas Brown offers a clear, authoritative manual of testing and assessment in the second language classroom.

Language Assessment looks at essential principles for assessment, as well as the critical tools that teachers need for fair, effective evaluation. This invaluable resource joins Brown's classic texts, Principles of Language Learning and Teaching and Teaching by Principles, to form the definitive trilogy on teacher education.
