Sinopse

Famous Wrong Predictions explores the captivating history of forecasting failures, revealing how even experts can be spectacularly wrong about the future. It delves into cognitive biases and flawed reasoning that lead to prediction errors, demonstrating how over-reliance on existing data and limited imagination can derail even the most informed forecasts. For example, the book examines why major innovations were often dismissed, despite their transformative potential.

 
The book uniquely blends historical analysis with insights from cognitive science and behavioral economics, offering a multidisciplinary perspective on why predictions fail. Structured in three parts, it begins by introducing core concepts of prediction, then presents instructive case studies spanning technology, economics, and social trends, and concludes by analyzing the underlying causes of these failures, providing lessons for better decision-making.

 
Readers will gain valuable insights into the limitations of human foresight and learn to critically assess future possibilities.

    In the wake of colonization, in a landscape of loss and dispossession, can we rediscover ways to share the land with other creatures and one another?
    		 
    When the government recently tried to abandon its responsibility to protect what little remains of the natural prairie, Trevor Herriot pushed back, only to discover an injustice haunting the lands he was trying to defend. In 1938, when the Métis of Ste. Madeleine returned from working away, they found their homes burnt to the ground and their animals shot. The land they held in common was no longer theirs, but was now controlled by the federal government.
    		 
    Facing his own responsibility as a descendent of settlers, he connects today's ecological disarray to the legacy of Metis dispossession and the loss of their community lands. With Indigenous and settler people alienated from one another and from the grassland itself, hope and courage are in short supply. This book offers both by proposing an atonement that could again bring people and prairie together.

    From mavericks to party standard-bearers, United States Senators, members of the House of Representatives, and presidential candidates have campaigned for four decades espousing their intentions to address the impacts of climate change. 
     
     
     
    Glacial: The Inside Story of Climate Politics is the first Inside-the-Beltway account to lay bare the machinations of what went wrong in Washington—how and why our leaders failed to act on climate change as mounting scientific evidence underscored the urgency to do so. Glacial tells a story of behind-the-scenes infighting and power struggles that blocked or derailed federal legislative progress on climate change, even in times of bipartisanship and with polls showing most Americans favored action. 
     
     
     
    The good news today is that public opinion is at its highest level of support for climate action, from corporate boardrooms embracing sustainability for business reasons to movements led by passionate younger generations who can't afford to stand mute because it is they who will inherit the worst environmental catastrophes. If the missed opportunities in Washington are instructive, the path to doing so is clear. Our elected officials must use their offices not solely for the power and prestige it bestows upon them personally, but for the public good—and they must do so while there is still time.
