Madeleine and Cathy fervently believe that young people need more positive stories about the future.
The book cleverly takes today's way of life and springboards from it to create a world where 800kph superloop trains and share-hopper taxis exist. Petrol and diesel are energy sources of the past and traffic jams and road accidents are no more. The book presents a possible cleaner, safer, more positive future as if it has already happened, and alongside the author's vision, this book documents the facts and statistics; this is not just a vision of what they want to see. Future Visions is expertly written by scientist Dr Cathy Rogers and illustrated by wildlife-loving Madeleine Rogers. The passion, detail, knowledge and sense of joy and fun that the duo have is absolutely amazing. Their inventiveness in sharing this vision for our world, as if it were already a reality, is a fantastically inspiring and thought-provoking way in which to harness young readers' enthusiasm and engagement in wanting to actively help create such a prosperous future. Believable, relatable and so relevant - like a blueprint of where the world could be. A hugely meaningful and powerful book for young (and old!) readers. * Reading Zone * Future Vision: Stories of our Brilliant Tomorrow helps bring out the inner optimist and keeps the cynical at bay. This nonfiction book is about the future and set in the year 2070. It shows us what the world might be like in 40-50 years’ time. ..., it can be difficult to be optimistic – but progress takes years, decades. Making readers aware of this is what this book does really well. It shows how all the positive things being done now might impact the future, and how readers might be able to impact the future too. Future Vision would sit well in various areas of the curriculum as an accompanying text. Especially in science, technology and environmental topics. Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 children will find this fascinating and inspiring as do all of us when presented with visions of the wonders of tomorrow. * Just Imagine *
