FORE, AND THE FUTURE OF PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING, by Distinguished Professor Emeritus Dr. R. L. Handy, presents a new, scientific approach that projects the past into the future, and does so with humor and humility. It is "A Guess with a College Education, the E = mc2 of Prognostication." With its unique brand of humor, the book hits on topics varying from life expectancy to home run hitting, from the rise in sea level to record heights achieved in the pole vault, from oil production to food production. Jacket blurbs: "...I hope it hits a home run."-Alan Alda, actor and science spokesperson. "An utterly fascinating book built around an astonishing variety of day-to-day practical applications..."-Gordon Eaton, Ph.D., former Director of the U.S. Geological Survey and President of Iowa State University. "...a great book, which hopefully will get the wide readership it deserves."-Michael Mann, Ph. D., Distinguished Professor and Director, Earth System Science Center (ESSC), Pennsylvania State University. "Dr. Handy makes [his} subject easily understood and fun to read - primarily due to his skillful use of appropriate humor." -Jim Woodard, nationally syndicated columnist and story teller at the Ronald Reagan Library.
