Drawing from diverse philosophical and spiritual traditions, contributors share their experiences of working for peace and justice and discuss the obstacles to both. They address a wide range of contemporary problems, including the war on terror, killer drones, the invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, mass surveillance, the human cost of war, political-economic impediments to peace, violent extremism, the role of women in peace-building, and the continued threat of nuclear weapons. With its stories of how peace activists found their calling and its exploration of why the world still needs peace activism, the book offers a vision rooted in human community and hope for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Breyman \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor Emeritus of Science and Technology Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the author of \u003ci\u003eWhy Movements Matter: The West German Peace Movement and US Arms Control Policy\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by SUNY Press. \u003cb\u003eJohn W.
