ENDING U.S. WARS by Honoring Americans Who Work for Peace

In this new book, Dr. Michael D. Knox, founder of the US Peace Memorial Foundation and Distinguished University Professor, says it's time for Americans who work for Peace to be honored as national heroes. From war epics that portray American soldiers as unfailingly noble, to public monuments that glorify war-makers, to a national education curriculum that rarely asks students to debate the value of war, the U.S. is a nation that venerates its warriors above all others. The U.S. has bombed thirty countries since the end of World War II, killing millions of people, maiming tens of millions more, disrupting and destroying education, healthcare, housing, businesses, infrastructure, the environment, and creating untold numbers of refugees. Knox, who practiced clinical psychology for over 40 years, describes a behavioral approach to ending U.S. war. The book also documents the actions of hundreds of role models for peace in hopes of inspiring other Americans. ENDING U.S. WARS by Honoring Americans Who Work for Peace aims to change the U.S. culture to one that celebrates its peacemakers. "In a culture that funds and esteems war-making, respect for peacemaking must be taught and modeled. We can change our cultural mindset so that it will no longer be acceptable to label those who speak out against a U.S. war as disloyal, anti-military, or unpatriotic. Rather," says Knox, "they will be recognized for their dedication to a noble cause and to saving lives." Chapters include A CULTURE OF WAR, A CULTURE OF PEACE, and: THE US PEACE PRIZE. Recipients of the US Peace Prize since 2009 include Chelsea Manning, Medea Benjamin, Noam Chomsky, Ajamu Baraka, Dennis Kucinich, and Cindy Sheehan. In 2020 the US Peace Prize went to Christine Ahn "for bold activism to end the Korean War, heal its wounds, and promote women's roles in building peace." Detailed profiles of all 12 recipients are included. THE US PEACE REGISTRY. A collection of 270 Americans who work for peace, demonstrating a broad range of peace and antiwar actions and activities. The Registry appears for the first time in print. THE US PEACE MEMORIAL. The Foundation's most ambitious goal is to establish a monument on the National Mall. ENDING U.S. WARS offers a sneak peek at this exciting project. Plans include an inspiring and creative design that features a peace sign that can only be seen aerially and aims to serve as a reminder to government officials who fly over the Mall. As the US Peace Memorial is currently envisioned, twelve walls, or facets, will contain engraved peace quotes from famous Americans such as Jane Addams, Muhammad Ali, Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Ernest Hemingway, Helen Keller, Martin Luther King Jr., and Margaret Mead, and a variety of U.S. presidents who are not widely known for their antiwar statements. Until it is built, this book is the US Peace Memorial. "An indispensable tool to overcome the culture of militarism that impoverishes human needs at home while creating endless wars, failed states, and boundless misery abroad. ...A critical piece of the uprising for people, planet, and peace."-Jill Stein

Kim John Payne plantea una máxima radicalmente poderosa: los niños no son desobedientes, más bien están desorientados. El resultado de este cambio de perspectiva es que la disciplina no es para controlar o castigar, sino para guiar. El autor brinda un marco sencillo para la toma de decisiones sobre por qué, cuándo y cómo mantener las riendas de la crianza más firmes ―mientras los hijos desarrollan habilidades―, o darles a esas riendas más juego ―cuando los chicos van aprendiendo a caminar libremente―. Un padre necesita saber cuándo ser Gobernador, Jardinero o Guía, de acuerdo con la edad y el proceso de crecimiento que su hijo enfrenta, por lo que el autor de Simplicity Parenting, delimita y construye estos roles de una forma clara y precisa, en esta nueva obra. También ofrece ayuda y aliento para impulsar la evolución emocional de los hijos en momentos difíciles pero inevitables. Payne da herramientas para que los padres que sienten que el comportamiento de los grandes, y también de los pequeños, ha caído en un patrón preocupante, gasten menos energía en corregir, y más en disfrutar y conectar. Kim piensa profundamente en lo que los hijos necesitan de nosotros para llegar a ser autogestivos, seguros y calmados, por lo que concibe al alma de la disciplina como el proceso de cuidado que les ayuda a vivir bien y felices, y lo plasma amorosamente en este luminoso y hermoso libro.
