About this title

Review:

Be prepared for the next 1,000 years! What will sports be like in the new millennium? What is the future of tourism and how will we spend our leisure time? Where will the Internet 2001 take us? How will religion interface with the future? Preview 2001+ addresses these issues in a collection of essays from writers whose informed visions predict the very near future. Rather than doomsaying, the essays help plot society's course into the new world that awaits.

From the Back Cover:

The educational opportunities of the new millennium are endless if our efforts are informed. If not, they will be catalogs of failures or half-successes. The essays in this collection, written by some of the leading scholars in Popular Culture Studies, turn the page on the new millennium to see what are the directions of approach and the opportunities to be gained in recognition of the compelling need for studies in everyday cultures. These essays help chart the course for themes and directions of such studies into the new world that is waiting to be born. Their value is indispensable.
