Reviews

. . . In conclusion, the book's diverse articles are individually worthwhile. It should have more appeal to teachers and practitioners than to students and the general public. Any lack of extensive statistical analysis is made up for in its cook-book' approach for educators wishing a starting point for personal study or course development. The bibliography is well done and the book is written in clear and concise language. In summary, this book deserves to be widely read by those interested in the task of teaching peace education, especially as it relates to nuclear war.-International Journal on World Peace
