Автор: Schwarz, Brita Название: Methods in Futures Studies ISBN: 0367020106 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780367020101 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 148010.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The frequent appearance during the past decade of a variety of futures studies has raised a number of philosophical and methodological issues, as well as criticism of specific approaches. Is it in fact possible to study the future at all? How useful or scientific are the methods commonly used? Addressing these and similar questions, the authors of this book present three examples of futures research conducted at the national level of policy and decision making in Sweden, The examples illustrate the problems of applying knowledge during the course of a futures research project, the ways in which different methodologies interact, and various means of combining and adapting methodological tools and techniques. On the basis of comparisons of the studies, the authors discuss more general issues, including the role of prediction in futures studies, the discipline's impact on policy making, the usefulness of formal models and scenarios, and the problems of establishing research criteria. Although the authors emphasize that it is impossible to specify, much less prescribe, unique solutions to many methodological problems, they suggest guidelines for the conduct of futures studies, stressing that the value of any method depends on a particular project's organizational and policy-making framework and its objectives. The book includes a concise overview of the characteristics and dimensions of futures studies and the methods and analytical techniques available.
Автор: Heike Paul Название: Critical Terms in Futures Studies ISBN: 3030289869 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783030289867 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 93160.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This volume provides the essential vocabulary currently employed in discourses on the future in 50 contributions by renowned scholars in their respective fields, which examine future imaginaries across cultures and time. Not situated in the field of “futurology” proper, it comes at future studies ‘sideways’ and offers a multidisciplinary treatment of a critical futures’ vocabulary. The contributors have their disciplinary homes in a wide range of subjects – history, cultural studies, literary studies, sociology, media studies, American studies, Japanese studies, Chinese studies, and philosophy – and critically illuminate numerous discourses about the future (or futures), past and present. In compiling such a critical vocabulary, this book seeks to foster conversations about futures in study programs and research forums and offers a toolbox for discussing them with an adequate degree of complexity.
Автор: Mohammad Dastbaz; Hamid Arabnia; Babak Akhgar Название: Technology for Smart Futures ISBN: 3319867873 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783319867878 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 107130.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book explores the nexus of Sustainability and Information Communication Technologies that are rapidly changing the way we live, learn, and do business. The monumental amount of energy required to power the Zeta byte of data traveling across the globe’s billions of computers and mobile phones daily cannot be overstated. This ground-breaking reference examines the possibility that our evolving technologies may enable us to mitigate our global energy crisis, rather than adding to it. By connecting concepts and trends such as smart homes, big data, and the internet of things with their applications to sustainability, the authors suggest that emerging and ubiquitous technologies embedded in our daily lives may rightfully be considered as enabling solutions for our future sustainable development.
