Building the Future: A Workbook to Accompany Futuring: The Exploration of the Future
by Jill Loukides and Lawrie Gardner
Anne Arundel Community College.
Preface by Arthur Shostak
WFS. 2006. 94 pages. Paperback. ISBN 0-930242-62-9.
Futurist educators Loukides and Gardner have developed this thought-inspiring workbook
to guide students through the key lessons of Edward Cornish's text, Futuring.
For each of the text's 16 chapters—which cover supertrends, the nature of change, futuring methods, uses of scenarios, the origins and rise of futurism, and much more—the workbook queries students on their prior knowledge and learning objectives; provides an outline, summary, and key terms; and prompts learners to evaluate their new knowledge about the future through critical thinking questions, activities, and self-study questions.
