Description

"Crucial Questions about the Future" presents readers concerned about the long-range future and their place in it a series of tough but necessary questions and offers no pat answers. Instead, what is offered is a structured and reason-bound exploration of the complexities of modern life with which the reader, or the future-studies inclined academic, can provide their own answers to these eternal and critical questions.
