 The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
Gladwell focuses on our "adaptive unconscious", that which provides us with instant and sophisticated information to warn of danger, read a stranger, or react to a new idea.
While one must be wary of journalist's apparent love of the latest academic study (1 test in academia = truth), this is an interesting study of how we respond intuitively.

A review of Government foresight work and its application to the development of a National Foresight Strategy for Australia. "Whether or not any government decides to take the lessons learned through previous foresight exercise...will depend on how many individuals within government recognise both the strength of their own foresight capacities and the imperative of accepting responsibility for future generations today".

This monograph, Foresight Practice in Australia: A Meta-Scan of Practitioners and Organisations reports on a "meta-scan" of foresight practitioners and organisations in the Australian context. The development of foresight practice in Australia has been gathering momentum over the past twenty years. This critical review of Australian foresight professionals analyses the social interests, methodologies, epistemological focal domains, capacitating foci, geographic locations and organisational types that characterise the practice of foresight in Australia. This deeper understanding of how foresight is practiced is seen as a necessary first step in the development of a National Foresight Strategy for Australia.

 Towards a Wise Culture
These four books track a personal and collective journey that took place over nearly two decades. Recovering the Future sets out some early themes: education, the futures field, cultural criticism and worldview issues. It might be called 'early critical' in its approach and tenor. The same would be true of The Foresight Principle which viewed some of these themes through a prism of three elements: foresight, wisdom and cultural transformation. Next, Futures for the Third Millennium represents a shift to a 'late critical' approach since the themes of the book are both broader and deeper. Finally, Futures Beyond Dystopia, demonstrates the 'transcend and include' mantra of integral work generally and explores an 'early integral' approach. Recovering the Future (1988) The Foresight Principle (1995) Futures for the Third Millennium (1999) and Futures Beyond Dystopia (2004). [Foresight International, 2005, CD-ROM ]
