This review is from: Atlas of the Future: Discover What Lies in Store for Our World in the 21st Century and Beyond (Paperback)
Ian Pearson's Atlas of the Future is a great primer for a broad range of global future trends. As a researcher focussed on providing the fuel for future scenario's I have used this exciting visual atlas of the future to:

o gain a rapid high level future view of a broad range of subjects- bealth, water, technology, fishing resources...
o explain to friends and family what I do
o find initial reference points for initiating research

I recommend this as a great future reference piece.
