Social forecasting, future studies; Civil rights & citizenship

In our world of constant conflict, environmental destruction, cruelty, and misery for many, is a new direction needed more than ever?

In this new second edition, author Edwin Jay Sparkes extends his Brief Observations of the Human Condition, 2014. He adds the fundamental question ""Where do we go from here?"" beyond 2024 to move towards a more peaceful and sustainable future for all.

In this brief but wide-ranging book Edwin invites readers to question the world we find ourselves in, and to seek choices that may give ordinary people more control over our lives and world. His graphic signpost image frames our world and key choices - war or peace, disease or cure, poverty or wealth and other essential dimensions of the human condition. He includes reflections from others who have asked these basic questions and offers suggestions in an unusual manifesto for the 21st century.
