A clear explanation of current social issues. Lucidly written, this text will stimulate learners’ awareness as well as the power of their imagination.

Aimed at intermediate and advanced students, this text deals clearly with an array of up-to-the-minute topics in five areas: culture, society, science and technology, environmental concerns, and economics. (The essays are roughly 800 words in length.) Readers will grasp the causes of the problems our world faces and what we can do to address them. In addition to questions focusing on vocabulary and comprehension, it will give students the skills they need to put together their own ideas on the topics. The teacher’s manual contains a mini-test for each unit.
