Description
Many believe that the world is entering a time of monumental historic change that will accelerate between now and 2012. World leaders need to be prepared to address life-altering events such as a rapid climate change, a severe restriction of the oil supply, a tipping point in the global financial system, a bird flu epidemic, or a new level of sophistication among terrorists. In this timely and insightful essay, noted futurist John Petersen argues that the future of the world depends on the new administration of the U.S.A. in 2009 grasping the importance of what lies ahead.
