Courage, compassion, decisiveness, logic, empathy, love--the fundamental virtues of peace have inspired nonviolent heroes to action and driven changes toward better lives for millions around the world. This valuable guide delves deeply into the motivations of peacemakers to find the skills, traits and values that underlay the methods and strategies of nonviolence. Replete with real-world examples of peacemaking, it clearly and explicitly shows how individuals and societies choose to handle the conflicts that are a natural part of our lives. Thirty nonviolent methods are introduced through inspiring stories that reveal how seemingly intractable conflicts were transformed into conditions free from the ravages of violence. Highly relevant and practical for the schoolyard or the global stage, this work presents an innovative and accessible yet scholarly exploration of how we choose to be people of violence or people of peace.
