Book Review: Lessons for the future: the missing dimension in education, David Hicks

Abstract
Each time a new book appears on my desk I get excited because I love words and ideas. And each time I start to read, I wonder what is going to be 'new' about this text: what will it add to my intellectual, emotional and spiritual gene pool? Well I picked up David Hicks' new book, Lessons for the Future: The missing dimension in education, with such a sense of anticipation. This is a book that is heart warming, not in a sentimental way, but in its sense of genuine engagement with the reader on the praxis of being futures educators. In Lessons for the Future Hicks brings a collection of his research essays together within the context of his own 'journey' towards an integrated vision of futures oriented action within schools and institutions of higher learning. That he offers this personal subtext brings his thoughts and research into sharper relief. This is a real story of personal and social reflection and action.
