Description

Assembled under the auspices of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, this anthology, the second in the Waging Peace series, incorporates work by Nobel Prize laureates Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the XlVth Dalai Lama, Jan Tinbergen, Linus Pauling, and Mairead Maguire, as well as Jacques-Yves Cousteau and other internationally known experts on peace. The thoughts of this renowned group of thinkers, experts, and spiritual leaders range across the entire spectrum of issues confronting the peace movement.

Among the subjects explored in this probing collection are the power of individual citizens to effect change, the continued threat of ongoing arms development, the need to revitalize the United Nations to make it more effective in preserving international harmony, and the debilitating effects of war on the human spirit.

David Krieger and Frank Kelly are president and senior vice president, respectively, of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, based in Santa Barbara, California. They are also the editors of Waging Peace in the Nuclear Age: Ideas for Action.
