Reviews

"Anyone desiring to learn more about peace studies will benefit from reading all of the chapters in the Handbook. It provides an excellent overview of the current state of peace education and is well referenced. ... The Handbook is an important resource for all interested in the study of peace, violence, and conflict. It is certainly a text that will stimulate discussion among peace educators and covers a range of topics from teaching tolerance and critical thinking in schools to working toward reconciliation and healing following genocide. ... It is an important text not only for educators but also for clinicians, humanitarian aid workers, activists within the community, policy makers, and anyone interested in building more peaceful communities." -- Linda M. Woolf in PsycCRITIQUES "In today's world more than any other time in history, peace education could make a profound difference in the lives people live. This fundamental resource maps what we know, what we can do, and what we have yet to find out." - David Perkins, Ph.D., Senior Co-director, Harvard Project Zero, Senior Professor of Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education, USA
