THE LONG VIEW - RICHARD FISHER TASCHENBUCH

'A wise  humane book laced with curiosity and hope. It will open your mind and horizons - and
leave you giddy at the prospect of all that we may yet become.' Tom Chatfield  author of How to
Think   Humans can comprehend time like no other species  projecting our minds between past and
future. Yet today we are so often trapped in the present  at the mercy of short-termist
politics  quarterly business targets and 24-hour news cycles  while tomorrow's risks stack up.
It needn't be so. Craftsmen once built cathedrals over lifetimes  indigenous cultures embraced
intergenerational reciprocity  and writers dreamed of worlds thousands of years hence. Now  as
we face unprecedented long-term challenges  how do we recapture that far-sighted vision?  On a
journey that takes us from the boardrooms of Japan to a secret artwork hidden in a Welsh forest
The Long View shows us how to expand our minds into deeper timescales  and discover meaning 
perspective and hope along the way.  'Utterly brilliant. Profoundly thought-provoking  and at
times movingly personal  The Long View is a crucial exploration of our relationship with time.'
Lewis Dartnell  author of Being Human
