The Future in Plain Sight

Author Linden explains the current trends that most threaten to destabilize the world order, and why we have remained largely blind to them, and how we might turn and manage them to ultimate human benefit instead of the disaster we face in the near future. A lucidly written guide for our near-future and a provocative manual of public policy. Linden pulls no punches addressing the problems our planet faces: OVER-POPULATION & THE LACK OF FOOD AND WATER / CLIMATE CHANGE / RESURGENT INFECTIOUS DISEASES / THE LOSS OF BIODIVERSITY / THE GROWING GAP BETWEEN RICH & POOR. Linden brings wide learning, acute judgement, and great imagination to his evaluation of these and other destabilizing forces. A book everyone should read.
