PRAISE FOR PREDICTIOS IN THE INTERNATIONAL
PRESS
'Many economists and business planners may turn to the volume for
guidance as to how to improve their highly unsuccessful forecasting
methods.' Financial Times
'Impressed by the power of natural growth curves, Modis applies them
to everything from the progression of epidemics to the creative
potential of geniuses.'
Newsweek
'Modis offers a fascinating technique for making forecasts in such
areas as AIDS research, economics, life expectancy, and even artistic
achievement.' The Futurist
'We have the technology now to forecast many social phenomena... . I
follow the work of Theodore Modis, who nicely sums up the case for the
utility and believability of predictions.' Kevin Kelly, Wired
'You must read this book. It is the most delightful one on
forecasting I have encountered in a very long time. Written for the
enjoyment of both layperson and professional, it is fascinating and
provocative.' Technological Forecasting & Social Change
'Modis cites the relationship of his "overall" 56-year cycle and
evidence on the associated clustering of technological innovation to
prior work by Kondratieff and Schumpeter (in my opinion, Modis' evidence
on these topics is more extensive and compelling than that of either of
these scholars.)' Science
'Interesting, well written, enjoyable, controversial, thought
provoking.' Simon van der Meer, Physicists, Nobel Prize 1984
'A fascinating book' Kosta Tsipis, professor of physics at
MIT
'A lot of highly selective fun re-invoking much in my own past
experiences.' George Wald, professor emeritus of biology at Harvard,
Nobel Prize 1967
'I think it’s important for anyone in this business [investments] to
read Predictions.' Tom Dorsey, author of Point &
Figure Charting
