Are there any unique qualities that humans possess that make us special within the world of nature? Since the beginnings of recorded history, we have pondered this question. What if many of humanitys highest qualities and unique achievements, such as technology, civilization, morals, self-consciousness, freedom of choice, religion, and science are all built upon a single distinctive human capacity? It may be that our highly evolved mental power to envision and think about the future is at the core of our greatest accomplishments and most unique human attributes. In The Evolution of Future Consciousness, psychologist and futurist Tom Lombardo examines the human ability to be conscious of the future, to create ideas, images, goals, and plans about the future, to think about these mental creations and use them in directing ones actions and ones life. In the opening chapter, he looks at the psychology of future consciousness and its values and benefits, as well as ways to enhance this human ability. Subsequent chapters describe the emergence of future consciousness in pre-historic times and how it was critical in the development of love and bonding, the family, tools, and human aggression and hunting; the central importance of the future and time in early myths, religions, and classical philosophy; and the rise of modern futurist thinking, covering the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, the Western Enlightenment, and the Romantic counter-reaction. The book concludes with Darwin and how the theory of evolution revolutionized humanitys conception of both the past and the future. In its companion volume, Contemporary Futurist Thought, Tom Lombardo completes his survey of the historical development of future consciousness, discussing significant ideas and approaches to the future in the last century, including science fiction, future studies, and an extensive array of recent theories and paradigms of the future.

If you want to boil down how the losers in the B2C wars of the last two decades got beat, it wasn't the product--it was the way they interacted with their customers. That's what digital transformation is supposed to be about. But most B2B companies, the old ones AND the new ones, are struggling to truly innovate their operating models. Leading companies in high-tech, industrial, medical device, and other B2B tech markets are hesitating to take the steps necessary to change how they build and deliver their solutions. They are carrying too much baggage--high labor costs, slow time to customer value, under-responsive sales and services--into a future that just won't stand for it. That's true even though the technologies are available to enable the changes NOW. Digital Hesitation examines why most B2B companies are failing to reach the full potential of their digital transformation efforts. It also examines, in detail, the specific actions they need to take on the eight toughest challenges we see at the TSIA. Digital Hesitation is written from the perspectives of a dozen experts who interact and advise the world's top technology companies every day. From high-level issues like influencing the board to fully commit to transformation, to specific topics like the next generation of sales and services operating models, Digital Hesitation is the pragmatist's guide to managing a technology-centric B2B company through its next five years of development.
Dr. Brunswick addresses numerous day-to-day issues of life that American Muslims are faced with. In an effort to educate non-Muslim Americans about the Islamic culture governed by the Quran, (considered to be the Divinely inspired word of Allah), along with the Sunnah (sayings attributed to Muhammad by the Sahabiyeen, companions of the Prophet), Dr. Brunswick offers the reader a ready reference of Islamic jurisprudence, which influences many aspects of the American Muslim's life. Dr. Brunswick confronts the American Muslim with the stark reality that calls for a decision. Can an American Muslim truly be submissive to the dictates of Islam? Or does the American Muslim stand at "a cultural crossroads"? This is a book for our times. A no-holds-barred examination of an ancient religion's ability to function in a modern, free society.
