Knowing our future - The startling case for futurology

Summary

The received conventional wisdom within the global futurist community is that the future is unknowable. Knowing our future outlines a full theory of how knowable the future really is. Using case studies of prescient predictions of the social future from the time of the French Revolution through to the present Michael Lee argues that there are sound theoretical grounds for establishing a science of the future and accurately predicting it time after time. Drawing on mathematics, social theory, physics, economics, social biology and philosophy and referencing great thinkers from the Marquis de Condorcet, Herbert Spencer, Newton, Einstein, George Bernard Shaw, Stephen Hawking, Bertrand Russell and Roger Penrose, amongst others, Lee brilliantly presents the argument that the future, far from being mysterious and unknowable, can be understood and predicted.

    If you have been diagnosed with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), you're not alone.  EBV is one of the most common viral infections in humans. Around 90% of adults in the United States have been infected at some point in their lives, and most people don’t even know it because the virus can be dormant for years.
     
    Based on the many misconceptions surrounding this virus, it seems to be a fairly benign ailment. It is often referred to as "mono" or "the kissing disease" because it is so easily spread by physical contact with an infected person. However, the symptoms of this virus can be worse than anyone realizes and far more dangerous than people are led to believe.
     
    But did you know that there are simple steps you can take to regain your health naturally? 
     
    From nutrition and supplements to lifestyle changes, the right approach can help you fight off EBV and leave you feeling better than you have in years. For more information on Epstein-Barr Virus, continue reading.
     
    In this guide, you’ll discover:
     
    The guiding principles of EBV management using natural methods
     
    The stages of the Epstein-Barr Virus
     
    EBV healing foods
     
    EBV healing herbs and food supplements
     
    How to diagnose and treat EBV infections
