"This is a thought-provoking interview with a frank and powerful thinker and writer. Alice Walker reminds us of the importance of invisible forces and connections between worlds that science has not yet acknowledged. She tells how her own life is informed by a host of “ancestors” and characters from her own writing, and how this provides her with strength and a broad perspective on world history and current situations"
"This is an extraordinary interview on conflict and peace. Parry tells deeply moving stories from his own life - from the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland to his own neighborhood laundromat. They are stories of anger, truth and healing."
"'What has to take place for the light to come into your eye?' asks Holly Near. Not only a talented singer and songwriter, she demonstrates in this lively interview that she is also a passionate, humorous and articulate spokesperson for peace and sanity in the world."
"What can we learn from the events of the 20th century? David Halberstam set out to answer that question in this perceptive and eye-opening work which examines the past in order to determine the future. From the rise of the Japanese economy to the startling changes that reshaped the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Halberstam argues that the American economy's survival depends on the rededication and continued education of the American worker. As pertinent in today's economy as it was when first published, The Next Century is a timeless call to arms, reminding us that we must continually better ourselves in order to compete on the world stage."
"In this radical, visionary look at our possibilities for a sustainable future, Hazel Henderson discusses the “globalization” of human affairs, and proposes new ways of evaluating and improving a city or nation’s quality of life. We need an alternative, she explains, to such indicators as the GNP, which values war weapons but not environmental or human resources, an alternative to violence as a solution to political problems, and “a new game where the most ethical companies and the most socially responsible people and governments get a chance to win.”"
"Here two principals of the Mo Tzu Project, a citizens diplomacy endeavor, who have recently visited the Afghan refugee camps on the Afghan-Pakistani border, report the facts as they have observed them. What emerges is an astounding story of chaos and courage, which may offer a unique opportunity for bringing the superpowers closer together."
"As the founder of the Mo Tzu Project, Bob Fuller travels the planet as a citizen diplomat, searching out the roots of conflict in the hope of learning what can be done to make peace a reality, not just a dream. He has the rare ability to cut through the usual rhetoric we hear, and reveal, clearly and concisely, perspectives that often are so basic and simple we cannot imagine why they aren't more widely accepted."
"In the midst of the Superpowers and the Third World, a new vision is emerging of a Fourth World, encompassing small communities as an alternative to the notion that “bigger is better.” Returning power to a personal level is one of the goals and Papworth provides some useful ways to meet the challenge he so eloquently describes."
"Here the founder of the Shanti Project, creator of 'Peak Performance' seminars and founding president of the Peak Performance Center talks about ways to enhance life and realize one's personal potential in the middle of the marketplace or the 'real' world."
"Cosmic, crazy, and comic wisdom abound in this raucous romp through the galactic regions with the late Leary, Pied Piper of the sixties generation. His societal impact was undeniable. Whatever your belief system, Leary's thinking challenges our preconceptions and this conversation is no exception."
"This is a special audio documentary of the life and work of a twentieth-century genius. Included is the story of how the late Bucky transcended failure and despair and devoted his life to serving humanity. There is also a commentary describing his contribution to our time. If you're interested in making the world work, you owe it to yourself to give this program a listen."
"(A special 'live' presentation with some listener call-ins.) One of the country's most intrepid, informed and articulate anti-war activists returns for an update on his travels and recent developments in the militarization of the planet. Ellsberg's words can be chilling yet empowering, sobering yet heartening - and always thought-provoking. Required listening for anyone interested in moving beyond Cold-War myths."
