Readers are guided through core foresight methods such as trend analysis, scenario building, backcasting, and participatory tools, before exploring their intersections with models of resource availability, planetary boundaries, and adaptive systems. The book also integrates historical perspectives on growth, limits, and cultural evolution, providing a multidimensional understanding of how futures are shaped.\u003cbr\u003eBy combining analytical rigor with imaginative foresight, it equips researchers, practitioners, and students with interdisciplinary tools to address complex sustainability challenges and to envision more resilient, desirable futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Has\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3112237641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783112237649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.47d","brand":"Michael Has","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097252798719,"sku":"9783112237649","price":76.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/practicable-futures-research-michael-has-9783112237649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
