Critics Review
“As this century and this millennium draw to a close, there is a cause for reflection. The mistakes of the past are exposed. We’re trying to clean up the unfinished business of the 20th century. With creativity and imagination Ellyard prods us to think the unthinkable. With persistence and hope he demands of us nothing but the best. For him it’s simply a matter of planetary survival.” –Elizabeth Dowdeswell, executive director, United Nations Environment Programme,1992-1998
“This is a stimulating and provocative book by a distinguished futurist, who is dedicated to challenging us to strive for a future we want rather than passively accepting the future we seem likely to get.” –The Professional Reading Guide
