History & Criticism

In October 1980, struggling with small waves on the fledgling pro tour, Simon Anderson stuck three fins on a surfboard and changed surfing forever. Now, for the first time, on the 30th Anniversary of his historic breakthrough, Simon tells the entire remarkable story of how a kid from Collaroy graduated to Narrabeen and then took on the surfing world. Three decades after he took a dilemma to inspire a revolutionary solution, Simon is in high demand as a shaper to the world's best surfers and continues to influence the course of surfing history. From longboards to short, singles to twins to thrusters, Aussie titles to the pro tour, Simon's story mirrors the progression of modern surfing. With tales from surfing legends such as; Phil Jarratt, Derek Hynd, Andrew Kidman, Hugh McLeod, and Terry Fitzgerald along with photos by Hugh McLeod, Peter Crawford, Frank Pithers, Jeff Divine, Peter Simons, Mick McCormack, Dan Merkel, and many more, Thrust is one book every surfer should have.

Cautionary Tales: Young People, Crime and Policing in Edinburgh

Juvenile crime makes headlines. It is the stock-in-trade of politicians and pundits. But young people are also the victims of crime. They too have demands to make of the police. Drawing upon survey and interview research with 11 to 15 year-olds in Edinburgh, this book examines how crime impacts upon young people's everyday lives. It reveals that young people experience far more serious problems as victims and witnesses of crime, than they cause as offenders. It shows that they report little of their experiences of crime to the police, and are left to find their own ways of managing risk, such as telling cautionary tales&#157; about dangerous people and places. The study concludes by examining young people's relations with the police, suggesting they are over-controlled&#157; as suspects and under-protected&#157; as victims.

The forces transforming tomorrow are profound, powerful, and accelerating. The Internet, social networks, crowd-sourcing, gaming dynamics, new information and communication technologies, robotics, biotechnology, and nanotechnology are all converging to transform everything from agriculture, energy, education, and law enforcement to health care, manufacturing, retail, and transportation. 
In Foresight 20/20, professional futurists and business forecasters Jack Uldrich and Simon Anderson have developed eleven scenarios designed to aid the reader in understanding how a variety of technological trends are transforming the world of tomorrow. The trends are exciting and scary, positive and negative, prosaic and profound, and will impact both one's personal and professional life. As Cervantes said centuries ago, ''Forewarned, forearmed; to be prepared is half the victory.'' Foresight 20/20 goes one step further and not only prepares the reader for victory but also instills the confidence necessary to create tomorrow's victories.
