  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-51236-8 — Foresight Edited by Lawrence W. Sherman , David Allan Feller Frontmatter More Information FORESIGHT How do attempts to foresee the future actually change it? For thousands of years, humans have called upon foresight to shape their own actions in order to adapt and survive; as Charles Darwin revealed in his theory of natural selection, the capacity to do just that is key to the origin of species. The uses of foresight, however, can also be applied to help us further our understanding across a variety of realms in everything from warfare, journalism and music, to ancient civilizations, space weather and science. In a thought-provoking new addition to the Darwin College Lecture Series, eight distinguished authors each present an essay from their area of expertise devoted to the theme of ‘foresight’. This provocative read reveals foresight as a process that can be identified across all areas of human endeavour; an art which can not only predict the future, but make it anything but inevitable. Contributors Geoffrey Lloyd, Bridget Kendall, Robert J. Sawyer, Hasok Chang, Nicholas Cook, Jim Wild, Terrie E. Moffitt and Francesca Rochberg. LAWRENCE W. SHERMAN is Director of the Institute of Criminology at the University of Cambridge, where he has served as Wolfson Professor of Criminology since 2007. He is also Director of the Jerry Lee Centre for Experimental Criminology and Chair of the Cambridge Police Executive Programme. DAVID FELLER holds a PhD in the History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Cambridge, as well as a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center, Washington D.C.
