This anthology offers a richly diverse and thought-provoking collection of non-fiction texts. All are informative - but they are also, by turns, entertaining, eye-opening, challenging, inspiring and poetic. The texts are arranged in five themed sections: The world around us; The world of work; Science; Parents and children; and Human rights and wrongs. The collection includes texts by Fergal Keane, Brian Keenan, Martin Luther King, George Orwell, Libby Purves and Lynne Truss.
