Hello Everybody:
 
Announcing a huge new Newton eBook! This is the one that Michael Heurex wanted to convert, but he kept encountering error messages. I kept getting errors as well, until I took a close look at how I was editing the source files. The errors were due to the size of the eBook, plus memory usage for pasted images, hyperlinks to the TOC, etc. It works fine, now. It should be up soon on Marty and 'Kasko's Library site. Enjoy!

About this eBook:
This is a huge global think tank study that looks at possible scenarios for global problems in the coming decades. Topics include Asia's role in the world, the rise of China and India, predictions for Sub-Saharan Africa, global fossil fuel consumption, Islamic uprisings, various other conflicts, and related policy implications. This is some heavy-duty reading to wrap one's brain around, and it could be a bit depressing for some readers. If you like the idea of knowing what might be coming down the road over the next few years, this is probably the best source of information for the layman citizen without contacts in the upper echelons of government. They left out a few of my own predictions/scenarios, such as a decline in the global market leading to a mass exodus from China, civil war or revolution in Russia (again), fuel riots in other parts of the world, etc. Such pleasant thoughts. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to finish my manifesto before this batch of plastique goe
 s bad. :O)

PS I'm sorry that I did not prepare this eBook for other Newton formats. It was a ton of work just to get this one eBook working properly, what with all of the hyperlinks to the TOC. I am going to upload the NP! file, so that others can consider reformatting the eBook for other Newtons.
