"Eine Frau schreibt mir aus der Psychiatrie, dass ein Satz aus meinem Buch sie vom Suizid abgehalten habe. Kaum zu glauben, dass ein paar Worte einem Menschen das Leben retten können. Ein gutes Wort wirkt wie Balsam. Manche Worte sind Gift. Wie Worte weiterwirken, davon erzählen Weggefährten, Frauen und Männer in verschiedensten Lebenslagen, Menschen hinter Gittern ... Ganz persönliche Geschichten, mit Herzblut geschrieben, Briefe, Dankzettel, die zu denken geben. Die Cover-Bilder früherer Werke wirken wie seine Fußstapfen im Buch. 
Mehreren Beiträgen hat der Autor einen eigenen Denkzettel beigefügt - mitunter eindeutig zweideutig. Weiter schreibt er: "Mancher Text in diesem Buch klingt schon wie ein Nachruf. Da habe ich lieber selbst das Nachwort geschrieben. Ich hatte ja schon immer gerne das letzte Wort." 
Petrus Ceelen, geb. 1943, langjähriger Seelsorger für Gefangene, Aidskranke, Obdachlose und Drogenabhängige, Trauerredner, Autor vieler Bücher, bekräftigt: "Unser Leben spricht durch das, was wir tun. Auch Gott ist ein Tätigkeitswort. Liebe leben. In der Tat."

The economic crisis has many labels ranging from "subprime crisis" to "credit crunch," to "financial tsunami" or "economic Armageddon. Around the world, people are coming to a single diagnosis: "Something is deeply unhealthy in our world." This book advocates a deep paradigm shift, not just from one rigid paradigm to another rigid paradigm, but away from rigidity altogether. Away from massive institutions toward a global movement that is co-created by people and their enthusiastic energy. We need a dignity revolution, and not just in Tunisia or Egypt. Now we need a global dignity revolution, a world dignity movement, a movement that creates inclusion, both locally and globally. This book by the author of award winning books "Making Enemies - Humiliation and International Conflict", "Emotion and Conflict", as well as "Gender, Humiliation, and Global Security" provides an overview about the plurality of concepts and movements aimed at this.

In this book, Victoria Fontan questions the pre-established assumptions that exist in peace and conflict studies, and brings forward an alternative epistemology that relates to non-conventional initiatives for peace that exist in various parts of the world. She argues that the first step toward decolonizing peace and conflict studies must be our realization that we are powerless in facing the destruction and injustices that we invariably bring with our peace.

"Here then is a book that gently, persistently and, I think, solidly makes a case for incorporating Gandhi's insights into mainstream economics. Gandhi and the Future of Economics is not meant to be a research study of Gandhian economics. It is rather that kind of felicitous publication that breathes new life into a known theme, and, in doing so, brings out its implications for praxis. Even better is the fact that it does all this in dialogue with a set of contemporary thinkers and actors from the Indian sub-continent ..." (from Ivo Coelho's preface)

Beckwith relates a history of America's wars that includes "What America Missed in U.S. History Class." She details why war sells, the fallacies of common justifications for war, true costs of war, and sensible alternatives. A Mighty Case Against War proposes that this culturally supported, deeply entrenched system of governmental violence is simply too costly, destructive, counterproductive, and inhumane to leave unchallenged. An easily readable book, this is a resource for youth and adult education, peacebuilding activists, and all who have wondered if a world beyond war is possible.
