Forecasting is required in many situations. Deciding whether to build another power generation plant in the next five years requires forecasts of future demand. Scheduling staff in a call centre next week requires forecasts of call volumes. Stocking an inventory requires forecasts of stock requirements. Telecommunication routing requires traffic forecasts a few minutes ahead. Whatever the circumstances or time horizons involved, forecasting is an important aid in effective and efficient planning. This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to forecasting methods and presents enough information about each method for readers to use them sensibly. Examples use R with many data sets taken from the authors' own consulting experience. In this third edition, all chapters have been updated to cover the latest research and forecasting methods. One new chapter has been added on time series features. The latest version of the book is freely available online at http://OTexts.com/fpp3.

This ideology clad in scientific garb is what Wolfgang Smith takes to task in the detailed and rigorous argument of this book. In addition to his definitive refutation of Teilhard's "science-fiction theology," the author reintroduces vital metaphysical and theological truths of the Greek and Latin Fathers to a contemporary audience.
