this info maybe of interest because this futurologist project rather
seriously deals with history (unlike majority of other global projects of
this kind)and even has a special subproject 'Lessons of History'

Hello friends,
Below is the table of contents for the Millennium Institute's
latest newsletter. The full text can be found on our Web site at
www.igc.org/millennium/news
You can also subscribe to an e-mail edition (instructions
below). I hope you'll be interested to read it.
Highlights in this newsletter include a description of the
Millennium Gifts Project, which we launched in December with a
few of our key partners. We welcome and invite others to join
with us in this Project. Imagine, as our Trustee Daniel
Gomez-Ibanez says, using the turn of the Millennium to foster
a "culture of giving, instead of a culture of taking" on planet
Earth. That's in part what is possible through the Millennium
Gifts Project. See the expanded Millennium Gifts section of
our Web site for more information and examples of gifts already
given:
http://www.igc.apc.org/millennium/gifts/
This newsletter also reports on the two-day working meeting,
culminating nearly a year of preparation, of the Strategy and
Action Project for Chinese and Global Food Security. The
purpose of this Project is to identify what needs to be done to
narrow the range of projections of how much grain China may
need to import in the coming years: Some say only a modest
amount; others say enough to disturb the world food market.
Don't forget to visit the Year 2000 and Millennium Events
section of our Web site. It's chock-full of descriptions and
links to plans being made around the world in anticipation of
the new millennium. At last count nearly 40 countries have one
or more points of contact for plans. See

Towards sustainability,
Philip Bogdonoff
Vice President
