(More customer reviews)Review of Predictions by Sian Griffiths (Editor)
This book would be a great present for any person who has an interest in intellectual thought and ideas. It comprises a brief biography of each one of thirty great thinkers followed by a contribution from them outlining their view of the future for mankind. The biographies, in addition to giving a quick view of the life and times of those distinguished minds, also give a quick summaries of their contribution to modern thought. The explanations of their theories are clear and lucid but at a level which is comprehensible to the lay reader. The ideas are stimulating and a spur to discovering more about some of the theories and inventions of these great men and women. The contributions of the intellectuals themselves point to exciting changes and challenges for humanity in the 21st century. The contributors include, Noam Chomsky, Richard Dawkins, Umberto Eco, Lyn Margulis, Steven Pinker and 25 others. This is the nicest book I have read for a long time and one I am delighted to own.
