Book Description
The human race has often put a high value on struggle, strife, turmoil, and excitement. Peace has been regarded as a utopian, unattainable, perhaps dull ideal or as some random element over which we have no control. However, the desperate necessities of the nuclear age have forced us to take peace seriously as an object of both personal and national policy. Stable Peace attempts to answer the question, If we had a policy for peace, what would it look like? A policy for peace aims to speed up the historically slow, painful, but persistent transition from a state of continual war and turmoil to one of continual peace. In a stable peace, the war-peace system is tipped firmly toward peace and away from the cycle of folly, illusion, and ill will that leads to war. Boulding proposes a number of modest, easily attainable, eminently reasonable policies directed toward this goal. His recommendations include the removal of national boundaries from political agendas, the encouragement of reciprocal acts of good will between potential enemies, the exploration of the theory and practice of nonviolence, the development of governmental and nongovernmental organizations to promote peace, and the development of research in the whole area of peace and conflict management. Written in straightforward, lucid prose, Stable Peace will be of importance to politicians, policy makers, economists, diplomats, all concerned citizens, and all those interested in international relations and the resolution of conflict.

Book Description
"As foreign minister in Menachem Begin's government, Moshe Dayan, Israel's foremost military leader, pursued peace relentlessly, proving himself as shrewd and determined in diplomacy as he had been in his military triumphs. In Breakthrough, he recounts the historic and dramatic events that culminated in the establishment of a peace agreement between Egypt and Israel, and discusses its international consequences. As both participant and observer, Dayan gives us a unique and compelling view - at once critical and compassionate - of the men and issues involved." --from the publisher.

Book Description
"A clear, trenchant book on a topic of enormous importance . . . a courageous plunge into boiling waters. If The One-State Solution helps propel forward a debate that has hardly begun in this country it will have performed a signal scholarly and political function." ---Tony Judt, New York University ". . . a pioneering text. . . . [A]s such it will take pride of place in a brewing debate." ---Gary Sussman, Tel Aviv University "The words ‘The One-State Solution' seem to strike dread, at the least, or terror, at the most, in any established, institutional, or mainstream discourse having to do with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. . . . It therefore takes great courage---and I use the word literally---to title explicitly a book under that infamous label. . . . Virginia Tilley is blessed with such courage and complements it with the requisite academic erudition. . . . Weaving her way through the historical progression of Zionism and through late 20th century and current international and Middle Eastern politics, she shows how the additional, pernicious state of settlement expansion (abetted by other massive human rights violations that go with the occupation) has brought us to the point where only a one-state solution can provide a just peace (and not just a state of conflict management going under the misnomer of peace)." --- Anat Biletsky, Middle East Journal Recent events have once more put the Israeli-Palestinian issue on the front page. After decades of failed peace initiatives, the prospect of reconciliation is in the air yet again as the principal actors maneuver to end the conflict and---the world hopes---bring peace to the region. A one-state solution is a way toward that peace and needs serious, renewed consideration. The One-State Solution explains how Israeli settlements have encroached on the occupied territory of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to such an extent that any Palestinian state in those areas is unworkable. And it reveals the irreversible impact of Israel's settlement grid by summarizing its physical, demographic, financial, and political dimensions. Virginia Tilley elucidates why we should assume that this grid will not be withdrawn---or its expansion reversed---by reviewing the role of the key political actors: the Israeli government, the United States, the Arab states, and the European Union. Finally, Tilley focuses on the daunting obstacles to a one-state solution---including major revision of the Zionist dream but also Palestinian and other regional resistance---and offers some ideas about how those obstacles might be addressed. Virginia Tilley is Chief Research Specialist in the Democracy and Governance Division of the Human Resources Council in Cape Town, South Africa.

Book Description
Book's subtitle: Evolutionary, morally absolute* essays and lectures about the necessarily all-encompassing nature of true peace. At a bedrock level, these writings unify Jewish, Christian, Islamic, and Secular thought. This harmony is possible because these belief systems share the following theological and commonsensical perspective: * Good promotes life, while bad, death.[1] [1] This book does not discuss abortion. Book Summary: "Breakthrough to Peace-Even in the Middle East!" details a peacemaking plan, simultaneously secular and religious, that is based on peace's inalterable foundations. These foundations both are commonsensical to all societies in any age and are embedded into the full spectrum of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic thought. Beginning with a linguistics lesson founded on certain, logical principles that underlie Semitic languages, the peace plan, both eternal and novel, reveals that in each of the languages that Jews, Christians, and Muslims deify, peace is conceptualized inclusively. Because war, with opposing sides, is divisionary, that peace is inclusive is obvious. Continuing with this overlapping theology and social logic, because unreasonableness, which includes injustice, excludes and leads to conflict, inclusivity is achieved only through fairness, which is sufficiently loving our neighbors as ourselves. Because one man's food may be another's poison, one may rightly wonder, "About what are we to be fair and equally treat others?" To answer, this peacemaking method is foremost concerned with fairness over nothing more than the life-sustaining basics that pertain to all humans: water, food, shelter, clothes, sanitation, lack of fear of bodily harm, and so forth. For peace's sake, this first-things-first approach is ideal because (1) any lack in meeting basic needs would cause conflict naturally; and (2) any complex social malady unrelated to fulfilling fundamental requirements-say, a dispute over a national border's delineation-would be magnified were necessities unfulfilled even for a segment of society seemingly unconnected to the greater complexity. Consider: such an underserved segment would be unavailable to help in relation to its primary needs being unmet; and, such a group's social volatility could draw focus and resources away from solving the more intricate problem.

Author: Angelo Codevilla Publisher: Hoover Institution Press ISBN: 0817917144 Category : Political Science Languages : en Pages : 247
Book Description
Author Angelo Codevilla asks, What is to be America’s peace? How is it to be won and preserved in our time? He notes that our government’s increasingly unlimited powers flow in part from our statesmen’s inability to stay out of wars or to win them and that our statesmen and academics have ceased to think about such things. The purpose of this book is to rekindle such thoughts. The author reestablishes early American statecraft’s understanding of peace—what it takes to make it and what it takes to keep it. He reminds Americans why our founding generation placed the pursuit of peace ahead of all other objectives; he shows how they tried to keep the peace by drawing sharp lines between America’s business and that of others, as well as between peace and war. He shows how our 20th-century statesmen confused peace and war as well as America’s affairs with that of mankind’s. The result, he shows, has been endless war abroad and spiraling strife among Americans. Codevilla provides intellectual guidelines for recovering the pursuit of peace as the guiding principle by which the American people and statesmen may navigate domestic as well as international affairs.

Book Description
Have you ever quit trusting that God has a plan? This book will inspire you to live boldly for Jesus and recognize how God can use even the difficult times in life to accomplish His purposes. Whether big or small, God will use your difficult seasons to produce more strength, more faith, and perseverance.

This riveting true story will inspire you to live boldly for Jesus and recognize how God can use even the difficult times in life to accomplish His purposes.
