The 16th-century French alchemist known to us as Nostradamus left a legacy of thousands of prophecies written in cryptic verse. Based on the decoding translations of Manfred Dimde, here is what Nostradamus predicts for the 21st century. From a new energy source to increased life expectancy, learn what wonders are in store for the world--as well as calamities such as global war. How accurate are these ancient prophecies? Only time will tell.

Nostradamus, the 16th-century prophet by whom all other prophets are judged, left a legacy of cryptic predictions that have puzzled interpreters for centuries. Manfred Dimde believes he has cracked the code to Nostradamus's prophecies, and offers a glimpse at the surprises in store for us in the next hundred years, such as an entirely new method of transportation by the year 2000, and a new energy source by 2008. Dimde paints a picture of a future full of exciting new discoveries, but not without its share of political and social problems. What sets Nostradamus: Predictions for the 21st Century apart from similar works is its bold claim to have pinned down prophecies uncovered in Nostradamus's work to specific dates, a boldness that will either make this the single best book about the future, or prove to be its undoing as the next hundred years roll by. --Brian Patterson
