Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “His ideas will help anyone who has the courage to understand that a real education must go beyond filling in circles on a standardized test form.” —Rafe Esquith, New York Times-bestselling author of Teach Like Your Hair’s on Fire Can playing a game lead to world peace? If it’s John Hunter’s World Peace Game, it just might. In Hunter’s classroom, students take on the roles of presidents, tribal leaders, diplomats, and military commanders. Through battles and negotiations, standoffs and summits, they strive to resolve a sequence of many-layered, interconnected scenarios, from nuclear proliferation to tribal warfare. Now, Hunter shares inspiring stories from over thirty years of teaching the World Peace Game, revealing the principles of successful collaboration that people of any age can apply. He offers not only a forward-thinking report from the frontlines of American education, but also a generous blueprint for a world that bends toward cooperation rather than conflict. In this deeply hopeful book, a visionary educator shows us what the future of education can be. “The World Peace Game devised by fourth-grade teacher Hunter has spread from a classroom in 1978 to a documentary, a TED Talk, the Pentagon, and now finally a book, in which he describes the ways his students have solved political and ecological crises that still loom large in the world of adults . . . Hunter’s optimism is infectious.” —Publishers Weekly “Inspired, breath-of-fresh-air reading.” — Kirkus Reviews “Hunter proves the value of ‘slow teaching’ in this important, fascinating, highly readable resource for educators and parents alike.” — Booklist

Erwin Raphael McManus delivers wisdom, instills passion, and provides the sacred movements needed to become the warrior you were meant to be. We live in a time of global and personal chaos. The world is at war because our souls are at war. The path to peace begins with you overcoming your most frequent and fierce enemy: yourself.

Book excerpt: A stunning, thought-provoking look at finding peace in children's lives. Peace is a familiar word, its meaning both simple and complex. Here, Wallace Edwards explores peace and invites young readers to think about what that means to them. Through a series of linked questions combined with Edwards's singular art, the concept of peace is picked up, shaken, turned all around, and carefully examined from every angle. Children experience stress, even violence, at home and at school and bear witness to news stories and family histories. There are many books on war for children; far fewer that examine peace. What Is Peace? engages readers to think about peace in their day-to-day lives, and around the world.

Book excerpt: "Peace Begins with You and Me" unfolds into an inspiring story about children from all backgrounds who learn how to respect themselves and each other. As they become more aware of the positive power of their words, actions, feelings and thoughts, they create innovative ideas for bringing a unified vision of "being peace" into every school, home and neighborhood throughout the whole world. The script is user-friendly and flexible, and inspires diversity celebration, inclusion, anti-bullying, self-esteem, respect, nonviolent conflict-resolution, friendship, earth preservation, the power to change, empathy, kindness, love, peace and hope. This teaching tool is designed to help students, teachers and parents address challenging problems and serves as a seed that leads to values-oriented discussions and activities. The goal is to teach children how to work together in a cooperative and respectful environment. At the same time, they begin to understand the true meaning of every word written in the script and how each word applies to their lives. For added reinforcement, creative writing, discussion, journal writing, "Peace Promises," and Peace Begins with You and Me" Clubs can also be integrated into the curriculum. The play can be performed with minimal cost, and can be edited and interpreted freely. All songs are composed by Cheryl Melody, and the music is written in easy keys, with every word containing positive character-building messages.

Although optional, adults are often included in the play, and there is a unique opportunity for audience interaction, too. "Peace Begins with You and Me" can be performed in schools, service organizations, places of worship, and in any place that seeks to encourage a world of hope, peace and love.

Book excerpt: Neil Young is a singular figure in the history of rock and pop culture generally in the last four decades. Reflective, insightful and disarmingly honest, in Waging Heavy Peacehe writes about his life and career. From his youth in Canada to his first band's travels across the US seeking fame and girls, through Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash, to his massively successful solo career and his re-emergence as the patron saint of grunge on to his role today as one of the last uncompromised and uncompromising survivors of rock 'n' roll - this is Neil's story told in his own words. In the book Young presents a kaleidoscopic view of personal life and musical creativity; it's a journey that spans the snows of Ontario to the LSD-laden boulevards of 1966 Los Angeles to the contemplative paradise of Hawaii today. 'I think I will have to use my time wisely and keep my thoughts straight if I am to succeed and deliver the cargo I so carefully have carried thus far to the outer reaches. Not that it's my only job or task. I have others, too. Sacred things that I need to protect from pain and hardship, like careless remarks on an open mind.' Neil Young from Waging Heavy Peace
