THE STORY OF THE FORRES FUTURE SEARCH: A Community’s Attempts at Development in a Small Rural Town in Northern Scotland by Eddie Palmer with Mike Bell, 1998, ISBN 0- 95-336310-4, £18.00 including package and post.

This unique story chronicles changes in a Scottish community over two years and sets out to examine the real consequences of using Future Search Conferencing. This story also is about the young people of Forres in Morayshire and their future.

"What follows is a remarkable story. A timeless story and yet very much of our time... The book is not just a good read; it has real heroes whose drive to improve their communities demonstrate what local people can achieve despite considerable odds... The lessons from the book are timely because of the widespread rhetoric of citizen involvement from both the left and right wings... The value of the book is that it does not just tell the story but provides a tool kit for consultants working with and for local communities. Future Search methods and processes are described and assessed so that fellow consultants and community activists can assess their value and learn about the management of such events. The book also has much to offer the student of Community Development and will provide their teachers and mentors with invaluable case study material."
