Creative Speculations is an extraordinary book packed with innovative ideas
and suggestions to improve a huge variety of situations. Dipping into the book

winners to buy peerages, building houses from mud blocks, joining a “laughing
club” or using car horns to send coded placatory messages to other drivers?
Published by The Institute for Social Interventions, £14.85, ISBN 0948826436.
