NAP-National Academy Publications -New Widgets, Share Functions, Online Access

NAP are in the process of redesigning their online presentation using a rather neat Widget, proposing attractive report cover images and buttons for easy access to free online reading short summaries (pdf), executive summaries (pdf) and RSS feed printing individual pages and of course a paid print edition. Although outwardly similar in form, my own humble first "SpringWidget ®" for feed presentation and sharing-distribution, is pale in comparison.

Examples are given in the LHS - Left Hand Side Menu.

A short introduction to The National Academies, USA and NAP was posted recently on the main "This- Above - All" page

Good reading and many good wishes over the festive season. "A guid new year tae one and awe" - A good new year to one and all - Joyeux Noel et Bonne Année 2009.

Foresight - Free Manual - Prospective -Links List

To make life easier for readers, I have just recorded a reference Foresight-Prospective Studies Manual "From Anticipation to Action"-Pdf,together with numerous links (23 links) from the same good French source good French source on these subjects. Off-the-cuff, I can think of a few others such as "Santa Fe Institute", "Sierra Club", Aspen Institute...OCDE too I suppose, and will come back to this in "Future" "Think-Tank" posts. New comers are well advised to read (multi-lingual introductory materials, English of course, Spanish & French.) before using previously mentioned "sledgehammer free software tools". The French Expert central to these references is Michel Godet Professor of Prospective Studies at ENSAM - CNAM, whose abundant freely available work is mostly in French.
