This is the second and revised edition of ATLAS of futures links (2010). The first edition was published earlier as a free e-book available at: http://www.futuresdiscovery.com/newsletter/ATLAS.zip ATLAS of futures links is the most comprehensive directory of futures URLs ever designed & compiled by Alireza Hejazi, an Iranian futurist to help everyone who is interested in futures studies find his / her desired destinations on the Internet immediately and easily. It is being optimized and up-to-dated by adding more links every month. A wealth of links are collected and categorized in STEEP mode alphabetically. Up to now 636 links (URLs) are classified as: - Academic & Online Courses - Articles, Blogs, Books, Downloads, Maps, Resources & Softwares - Economic Futures - Environmental Futures - Futurists - Journals - Political Futures - Sociological Futures - Technological Futures - Think Tanks & Organizations "Change" is the nature of WWW addresses, so some of these links may be changed or inactive at the moment of your click. You can report the author changed or corrupted ones to be removed or revised in next editions. If you are a futurist or a member of a futurist think thank whose URL is not mentioned in this ATLAS, please feel free to contact the author and give him your (new) website address. You can also send him the links of your published books on futures studies and other related topics.
