In this book, Richard Slaughter draws on the relatively new but
rapidly developing field of futures studies to illustrate how our
thinking must change in order to deal with the challenges presented
by the new millennium. In doing so he brings together the latest
work from some of the leading international names in futures
thinking. Part One considers the foundations of futures thinking in
history, literature and ideas. Part Two explores some of the ways
that futures studies have been and are being applied in different
educational contexts around the world, from pre-school to
postgraduate levels. Part Three takes the crucial step from
institutional learning to social learning, and explores how futures
provides us with insights which can help guide our society into the
new millennium, together with suggestions for the development of
the field itself. This book is essential reading for teachers,
students and anyone interested in the perils and promise of the
twenty-first century.
