Book excerpt: Musings on Vital Issues has been put together with the intention of sensitizing students to some complex socioeconomic realities that prevail in the world around them. Three extremely relevant contemporary issues have been included here for study: globalisation, human rights and gender issues. Since the texts are drawn from various periods, cultures and perspectives, the anthology brings together a variety of viewpoints and aspects of these interrelated issues. Each text is preceded by a brief biographical note on the author and an introduction to the text itself. An exhaustive glossary and a set of questions in comprehension at the end of each unit facilitate both critical appreciation as well as classroom discussion. The concept of using texts related to socioeconomic concerns for study in a language classroom is the distinctive feature of this anthology.
