| Publisher Description: The book came from a feeling that the instructional resources, activities, and experiences from a class about nonviolence should be shared with others. The dream of "The Peace Class" -people who could transform the world to practice peaceful conflict Resolution-evolved from observing and absorbing the power of nonviolence from the study of successful peace initiatives and the people who have led them. Students who have only learned confrontational ways to deal with conflict often are amazed that there are other more peaceful and effective approaches. Abraham Maslow said, "If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail." The study of nonviolence provides other tools that might resolve conflict and create the ultimate "Peace Class." |
