books about: peace     books:       War and Peace60 reviews Leo Tolstoy Knopf, 2007 How to Read War and Peace, and Enjoy It Completely War and Peace is, without question, the greatest historical novel ever written. However, if you carry a copy of War and Peace with you anywhere, you will be subjected to ridicule of many varieties. This, of course, says more about the critics than the reader. It tells us first that most people have largely lived their lives deprived of reading one of the most "need to read" books in Western ...             A Separate Peace766 reviews John Knowles Scribner, 2003 Great Buy I'm usually concerned about purchasing items on line, especially books. I can honestly say that this experience was worth it. I would recommend this seller to anyone interested in purchasing good quality books at extremely reasonable prices. Buy with confidence, I did!             Financial Peace Revisited65 reviews Dave Ramsey Viking Adult, 2003 Required Reading! I checked this book out from my local library. It has changed my life and finances for the better. I am in far better financial shape now than when I was addicted to debt. I bought Dave's other book for my brother and I am now buying this one for my neice's wedding. I just wish that someone gave me this book 22 years ago when I got married! I approach is simple. Get out and stay out of ...             Living Justice and Peace: Catholic Social Teaching in Practice1 review Jerry Windley-Daoust St. Mary's Press, 2008 Bad business Purchased this book July 28th. As of August 29th have not received it. Seller does not respond to emails.             Being Peace39 reviews Thich Nhat Hanh Parallax Press, 2005 Excellent read Buddhist or not, this book helps to create a great perspective on how to find peace in all life's facets, positive and negative. The poems and essays are very helpful. The book is a great tool in helping to find balance in one's life.             War And Peace (Signet Classics)285 reviews Leo Tolstoy Signet Classics, 2007 Maudes at Home with Tolstoy The Maudes translated WAR AND PEACE in Tolstoy's house, consulting with him. They did a nice, thorough and very readable job. Meanwhile Tolstoy deliberately wrote in a simple, easy way to reach more readers. So while the Pevear translation may be slightly better (scholars have examined this work for more than a century and picked up translation errors here and there) or slightly worse, you really ...             The Anatomy of Peace: Resolving the Heart of Conflict67 reviews Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2008 An apparently additional redundant POSITIVE review Well, that is pretty impressive. At the time of writing this review there are currently 64 reviews, and of those 59 are 5-star and 5 are 4-star. Really, that should say a lot. The Arbinger Institute has crafted one of the best works on understanding the root of peace in humanity that I have ever seen. The "warring in your heart" concept is something we all probably innately understand, but ...             Peace Like a River384 reviews Leif Enger Atlantic Monthly Press, 2002 A great read - "Peace Like A River" I very much liked the story, the style in which it was written and the choice of words used in the text. Having grown up in the upper mid-west during the 1950's, I could identify with the story and the setting. I thought it was a great read and have shared the book with others.             A Peace to End All Peace: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East125 reviews David Fromkin Holt Paperbacks, 2001 Still Sorting Out the Ottoman Empire World War One brought about the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of the modern Middle East. Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine (including a somewhat conditional Jewish Homeland), and the Transjordan were carved out mainly by the British. Turkey established itself as a separate entity including both European (East Thrace) and Asian parts. David Fromkin leads the reader through the ...             Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life82 reviews Thich Nhat Hanh Bantam, 1992 Every word makes every day better Every word that Thai has written brings more and more clarity. This is one I will read again and again.             Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid694 reviews Jimmy Carter Simon & Schuster, 2006 The Truth It's great to see someone with the status that Jimmy Carter holds, still care to make what is wrong with the world right. A majority of this country did not re-elect President Carter for a second presidential term,(Your loss) but years later he is still making an impact on the lives of people all over the world. That is who we need in office, someone who is sincere enough to care when the cameras ...             The Perils of Peace: America's Struggle for Survival After Yorktown10 reviews Thomas Fleming Collins, 2008 Revolutionary War Bought it for a friend. He was unable to find it a the price given by Amazon. Excellent book. Tom             Perpetual Peace, and Other Essays on Politics, History, and Morals (HPC Classics Series)2 reviews Immanuel Kant Hackett Publishing Company, 1983 Nice, affordable edition It is very useful to have a Kant's shorter essays on political philosophy and the philosophy of history collected in a single volume. While a larger, more comprehensive collection, edited by Hans Reiss, is published by Cambridge Univ. Press under the title *Kant: Political Writings*, this smaller Hackett version is nicely translated and much more affordable. Hackett Publ. Co. in general has ...             The Peace Book19 reviews Todd Parr Little, Brown Young Readers, 2005 Bought this book 4 times I love this book and have bought 4 copies of it to give as gifts. I originally stumbled across it in a store and gave it to my niece for her 2nd birthday. Since then each time my wife and I have been presented with the need for a gift for a small child we have come to Amazon and bought the book. I also got one for our church's childrens library. The pictures and colors are great. One line of ...             10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace72 reviews Wayne W. Dyer Hay House, 2002 WAY TO GO WAYNE DYER!! If you are one of those that flips to any page in a book every now & then for a little insight & inspiration, on days when you need a little extra dose of "truth", then this is a perfect book for you. The pages are decorative glossy, and the chapters are full of analogies. It's worth the money!!             The Financial Peace Planner: A Step-by-Step Guide to Restoring Your Family's Financial Health25 reviews Dave Ramsey Penguin (Non-Classics), 1998 A Must Read! Dave Ramsey hits it on the head - I wish I had read it at 18 years old. Personal money management can be tough, but this book (as well as all the Dave Ramsey books) gives very clear, concise instruction on how to manage your life's fortune (or how to create a life's fortune). He is hysterical and animated - It's easy, fun reading.             Approaches to Peace: A Reader in Peace Studies1 review Oxford University Press, USA, 1999 One of the best, but still falls a bit short I've used David Barash's _Approaches to Peace_ several times in my college classes on peace and justice. This is unusual in itself, because I rarely use anthologies, preferring instead to go straight to the original sources themselves. I like Barash's approach, though, because it tries to be inclusive as possible. The anthology begins by looking at the definitions and possible causes of war, ...             War and Peace (Penguin Classics, Deluxe Edition)11 reviews Leo Tolstoy Penguin Classics, 2006 Paperback Building Block A new translation by Anthony Briggs, introduction by Orlando Figes. I chose this translation based on the strength of the Penguin Classics imprint, the readable size of the print, and the back-cover blurps promising a new and accessible translation. Overall, the translation read very well, although I agree with two negative comments I read on internet blogs about the translation: 1). The ...             Peace Child (International Adventures) (International Adventures)41 reviews Don Richardson Y W A M Pub, 2007 Fantastic story, great for a read-aloud! I read this story as a new Christian years ago, and then read it aloud to my children. It is amazing and the type of story you can read over and over and it is always relevant and you always get something new from it. Read it! The sequel is amazing as well, "Lords of the Earth."             Justice and Peace2 reviews Joseph Stoutzenberger Harcourt Religious Publishers, 2003 Justice And Peace The book was new and I paid a good price not too bad of one.              search for books adventures, america, anatomy, apartheid, approaches, catholic, classics, conflict, creation, edition, everyday, financial, international, mindfulness, palestine, penguin, perpetual, politics, practice, resolving, restoring, revisited, separate, step-by-step, struggle, studies, success, survival, teaching, yorktown books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
