We rely wholeheartedly on them, and become outraged when things don’t go exactly to plan. But should we really put so much trust in predictions? Perhaps gut instincts can trump years of methodically compiled expert knowledge? And when exactly is a forecast not a forecast? Forewarned will answer all of these intriguing questions, and many more. Packed with fun anecdotes and startling facts, Forewarned is a myth-busting guide to prediction, based on the very latest scientific research. It lays out the many ways forecasting can help us make better decisions in an unpredictable modern world, and reveals when forecasts can be a reliable guide to the uncertainties of the future – and when they are best ignored.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBAuthor: Paul GoodwinGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Science Nature & Math, Business & FinanceRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
