5169

UFO Phenomenon, Unknown Mysteries Another impressive volume from the ‘Mysteries of the Unknown’ series, which examined the history and nature of seemingly paranormal phenomena, THE UFO PHENOMENON was published in 1988 by the Editors of Time-Life.

In the 160-page hardbound book are chapters on ‘Elusive Visitors,’ ‘Fear and Hope on Film,’ ‘Into the Saucer Era,’ ‘Kidnappers from Space,’ A Time of Close Encounters,’ ‘Project Blue Book,’ ‘A Deepening Controversy,’ ‘The Enduring Enigma,’ and ‘A Universe of Possibilities.’ As is usually the case with books from Time-Life, this is filled with wonderful color artwork and the articles are highly detailed. People, places and names are specific and make the information extremely interesting!

The book is in Very Good condition, with just some very minor edge/corner/spine end wear and a couple of minor scuffs to the covers Inside pages have no apparent defects. If you’re interested in UFOs, don’t miss this one! It’ll keep you wondering … (5169)

Designing the Future, 1960s Tech Forecasts
The exciting possibilities for future technological development are explored in DESIGNING THE FUTURE, THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGICAL FORECASTING, a pioneer work on technological forecasting in American society.

Author Robert W. Prehoda demonstrates that it is not utopian thinking to expect that we will be able to cure the aging process, extending the lifespan 100 years, 200 years, or indefinitely.

Human hibernation or suspended animation may allow many to bypass the immediate future and emerge in a golden age with the vigor and industry of youth reawakened. Bacterial and viral disease, stroke, heart disease, and cancer may be entirely eliminated.

Computer-controlled teaching machines will painlessly impart new knowledge, and chemicals may improve memory and actually raise basic intelligence.

Technological forecasting will solve pollution and transportation problems. The space program will be expanded to include the exploration and possible exploitation of the entire solar system. . . and beyond.

Published in this 1967 FIRST EDITION by Chilton Book Co., Philadelphia, this is among the first comprehensive descriptions of technological forecasting, which the author says will be an increasingly important discipline using the scientific method to make accurate predictions of future biological and physical science achievements. Such predictions would allow control and guidance of scientific development leading to the optimum improvement of the human condition.

The 310-page hardbound book is in Very Good condition, although it is ex lib with the usual library markings. We see no defects on either the covers or inside pages, and the dust jacket is present and protected with a Mylar cover.

It's a fascinating 1960s look at many of the changes we've already seen! A great one! (3081)
