A collection of prose selections, comprising both fiction and non-fiction, Panorama: A Course on Reading has been designed as a textbook for the first year B Tech students of JNTU, Kakinada. The collection is a combination of texts written by authors from different cultures - Australia, Africa, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Italy and India. The themes dealt with are common and have been incorporated to help broaden the perspectives of learners and develop cross-cultural sensitivity in them. The authors chosen are renowned internationally and the selections have been specifically made for an enhanced and interesting study of the themes presented therein. Each inclusion is followed by 'About the Author' and 'About the Text' sections, a detailed glossary and a series of questions to aid students' understanding of the texts.
