      Acknowledgement

      I wrote this eBook based on my years of experience on the ground as teacher, tutor and lecturer, editor, writer and researcher.  The success that stems from those occupations gave me the impetus to continue my passion as writer and editor.  Editing and writing is my forte.  I can say it is in the lifeblood of a master’s spirit.

      I give thanks to the people I have interacted with all the years in those occupations because it is through fulfilling work experiences with them in tasks and procedures that I have truly learned what is essential and basic: specific practical details get down to the essentials of forecasting methodologies. Essentially, this eBook covers a range of forecasting methodologies that can be applied to help us decipher the uncertainties of the future.  The essentials of forecasting methods and procedures presented will give readers a quick glimpse of what to expect in  a rapidly evolving age where variables are many and events evolve in unexpected ways in unpredictable circumstances.
