Which Way To The Future: Selected Essays
From Analog by Stanley Schmidt check out website: www.tor.com
Quite what's happened to the past 6 years in regarding more up-to-date material is debatable although might be waiting for a second volume. With Analog's poor UK distribution, it's unlikely you'd have seen much of these things anyway. SF editorials tend towards insight and gripe when they're allowed to flow.
Of particular interest are indicators as to what Stanley Schmidt looks for in submissions to Analog which will inevitably draw sales of this book. There are 35 essays divided into 9 sub-sections covering a wide range of topics but not necessarily all SF related. It's very hard to choose any particular piece above any other cos they are all interesting from their individual merits. This book is really for Zen belly contemplating about the world and whether you agree with Schmidt or not it should give you pause for thought. GF Willmetts

The
title really does sum up the contents of this book which is essentially
selected editorials as written by Stanley Schmidt for Analog magazine
between 1980 to 1998. 
Although
some topics are typically American with local concerns to environment
and education, others should have you thinking.
