 The Knowledge Base This CD ROM presents an up-to-date international overview of futures studies and applied foresight.
A survey carried out at the University of Houston Clear Lake futures program, reported that students there voted the KBFS as 'the best available resource'. Readers can access some of the core material of the field produced not only by well-known authors but also by many who live beyond the main centres in Europe and the USA.
It is this combination of highly experienced and well-known writers with those who hail from such far-flung places as Tibet and the Pacific Islands that help give the KBFS its freshness and distinctively original feel. One can sense quite literally how an advanced futures discourse arises from the interweaving of these very different voices. [Foresight International, 2005, CD-ROM] More info |
