Toward Nuclear Abolition presents the inspiring, dramatic story of how citizen activists helped curb the nuclear arms race and prevent nuclear war. Examining events from 1971 to the present, the author continues the account he began in two earlier volumes. The book shows how pressure from the Nuclear Freeze campaign in the United States, the European Nuclear Disarmament campaign, and comparable movements around the world foiled the nuclear ambitions of hawkish government officials and forced them toward nuclear arms control and disarmament. A leading historian and peace researcher, Lawren

Resisting the Bomb continues the story, begun in the award-winning One World or None, of humanity’s efforts to avert nuclear destruction. Beginning with the catastrophic atmospheric nuclear weapons tests of 1954, it describes the gradual development of a grassroots, worldwide movement for nuclear disarmament. By the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, this campaign had taken on mass dimensions in many nations, with antinuclear protests simultaneously drawing hundreds of thousands of people in dozens of countries.The movement engaged the efforts of some of the world’s most prominent and rever

This book is the opening volume in the first comprehensive history of the global movement against nuclear weapons. Ranging from the prophetic warning of H. G. Wells in 1913 to the H-Bomb controversy of the 1950s, One World or None tells in a lively fashion the story of the emergence of popular efforts to save humanity from nuclear destruction.

"Gatherings in Diaspora" brings together the latest chapters in the long-running chronicle of religion and immigration in the American experience. Today, as in the past, people migrating to the United States bring their religions with them, and their religious identities often mean more to them away from home, in their diaspora, than they did before. This book explores and analyzes the diverse religious communities of post-1965 diasporas: Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Rastafarians, and practitioners of Vodou, from countries such as China, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Iran, Jamaica, Korea, and

All but buried for most of the twentieth century, the concept of altruism has re-emerged in this last quarter as a focus of intense scholarly inquiry and general public interest. In the wake of increased consciousness of the human potential for destructiveness, both scholars and the general public are seeking interventions which will not only inhibit the process, but may in fact chart a new creative path toward a global community. Largely initiated by a group of pioneering social psychologists, early questions on altruism centered on its motivation and development primarily in the context of
