 Far Fetched ... September 14, 2009
GRH "Ex WHA Jet" (British Columbia)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
An interesting read, from someone who is obviously Pro-American. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but the author is far too optimist about America's future. He mentions that America's vast industrial capacity will enable it to win future wars. What industrial capacity? At present, the Americans have outsourced most of their industry to Mexico and China.
As for his predictions about Europe, he ignores that fact that Muslim immigration, combined with a negative birth rate of Europeans, will result in Europe becoming an Islamic entity, possibly as soon as the year 2050. This will spell disaster for the United States, which is the only nation that supports Israel.
His premise that America's future conflicts will be about mineral rights is way off base; America's future conflicts will be over it's unilateral support of the State of Israel.

The book arrived in a week and a half in the excellent condition that was promised. I would recommend this seller again.
The book is an excellent read. A very fascinating take on what will take place in the next century. I highly recommend it for international relations or futurist minded people.

Book was very interesting. I'll actually be around to see if some of his predictions come true.
The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century September 8, 2009
Joseph D. Smith
This was an interesting book in which the author attempts to predict what will happen in the world over the next 100 years.Some of the predictions left me bummed out, particularly the one that space will inevitably be militarized. The author argues that the control of space will be just as crucial to being on top of the hierarchy as controlling the seas is now.
Great insight September 7, 2009

I hope that some of his ideas don't materialize.
He has a wonderful grasp of what "might be" that should be of interest to many! I've sent the book to some of my family that are interested in what might be and they found it entertaining and thought provoking.
I would recommend it as a great read.
