Beskrivning

Changing Society: A Social and Spiritual Vision for the Year 2020 and Beyond addresses the five traditional social institutions (marriage and family, religion, education, politics, and economics) as well as other important social institutions (health care, race, ethnicity, and technology). The editor and contributors provide keen social insights as they consider the current dynamics as well as the historical and future issues of each of these social institutions. This book is unique in that each of the writers approaches their topic from vast professional expertise and from great spiritual awareness (that is, such things as values, essence, meaning, and purpose). With the intention of focus and clarity and by projecting into the year 2020, one can appreciate how Vision 2020 as part of the book's title captures a double entendre.

Recensioner i media

This is an impressive, wide-ranging, and encyclopedic work addressing significant areas of the human experience and changes that we are likely to experience, for good or for ill, in the decades ahead. This book is for futurists, but also for the average reader and inquirer who wonders what's in store for us down the road.
