"The social movement for peace with justice is being reborn... Newcomers to peace work, whatever their prospective role, need resources and help to get oriented and launched. They are well served by this Handbook, produced by an able set of experienced peace activists in psychology. Old hands will appreciate how the book reflects thoughtful understanding of the complex components of effective action for peace."

This book's message -- that all individual actions, while small, can contribute to social change -- is one of encouragement. A particularly timely purchase ...
