Bibliographic Details Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Pub Inc Published date: 2002 Size: 6 x 9.25 inches Weight: 0.7 pounds Pages: 224 Similar books Tomorrow Now by Bruce Sterling Children growing up now will face a world vastly different from the one we are experiencing today. In this amusing romp through the future, Bruce Sterling describes what the next fifty years might be like. Taking a cue from one of William Shakespeare's greatest soliloquies, Sterling devotes one chapter to each of the seven stages of humanity: birth, school, love, war, politics, business, and old age. Witty and idiosyncratic, Sterling shares his singular and unexpected observations about the importance of germs, gizmos, digital networks, police forces, and "the technological sublime": becoming post-human. He analyzes the works of other visionaries--Kevin Kelly, Lawrence Lessig, and Stewart Brand. He takes readers inside political movements that augur the way wars of the future will be fought. Along the way, he offers compelling insights on some of the most controversial issues facing us today, including genetic research, the greenhouse effect, and bioterror. Trendspotting by Richard Laermer Interviews with Edwin Schlossberg, Christopher Buckley, Gloria Feldt, and other industry leaders highlight this practical handbook on the art of predicting and profiting from future trends, which also includes hundreds of predictions with an a revealing look at their implications for the future. Original. Imagine by More than thirty distinguished contributors share their thoughts, beliefs, and concrete suggestions on how to create a brighter, more enriching America in the twenty-first century, covering such topics as health, the environment, education, politics, and technology in essays by Gloria Steinem, Thomas Moore, Sarah Ban Breathnach, Deepak Chopra, and other notables. Reprint. On the Edge of the New Century by Eric J. Hobsbawm The sequel to The Age of Extremes by "the best -known living historian in the world" ( The Times , London). Eric Hobsbawm's The Age of Extremes was a remarkable phenomenon, a book of serious and challenging historical analysis that became a worldwide bestseller. Now, On the Edge of the New Century continues Hobsbawm's "magisterial" ( The New York Times Book Review ) analysis of the twentieth century, asking crucial questions about our inheritance from the century of conflict and its meanings for the years to come. Looking back over the last decade, Hobsbawm finds the distinctions between internal and international conflicts and between the state of war and the state of peace disappearing. He goes on to analyze the crisis of the multi-ethnic state and shows the distortions of history involved in the creation of its myths. He expresses his anxiety over the system of international relations between states that have so far ruled by colonialism and nuclear terror. Hobsbawm then assesses the impact that a popular global culture has had on every aspect of life, from happiness and social hierarchy to nutrition and the environment. Published this year throughout the world, On the Edge of the New Century is a concise summary of the thinking of one of the century's preeminent historians. Apocalypse 2012 by Lawrence E. Joseph Draws on the latest scientific research and theories, as well as writings of a variety of ancient civilizations, to explore the belief that the year 2012 has been pinpointed as a cataclysmic year in human history, offering an authoritative study that assesses how close the planet and humankind are to extinction. 50,000 first printing.
