We photograph every item. light edge wear; Peace, Love, & Liberty, a provocative new book of essays edited by Dr. Tom G. Palmer on the topics of peace and war published September 15, 2014.War is not inevitable. But peace cannot be achieved by wishful thinking alone. This book presents the evidence regarding what fosters peace, and what disturbs it with conflict. The data demonstrate that the world can continue to grow more peaceful if we limit government and foster open trade, the rule of law, and equal rights. It takes an unflinching look at the ideologies of conflict on the hard Left and hard Right -- and presents an alternative that can be the basis of a new, smart, evidence-based Peace Movement. Essays include:The Decline of War and Conceptions of Human Nature (Steven Pinker, Professor, Harvard University)The Free Trade Peace (Erik Gartzke, Associate Professor, University of California, San Diego and professor, University of Essex)The American Enlightenment’s Wariness of War (Robert M.S. McDonald, Associate Professor, United States Military Academy)The Militarization of Policing (Radley Balko, journalist, Washington Post and investigative reporter, Huffington Post)The Art of War (Sarah Skwire, author and award winning poet)., Jameson Books, Inc, 2014-09-02, 3, New York: Bantam Books, 1971.

In the contrast between Bluntschli, the mercenary soldier, and the brave leader, Sergius, the true nature of valour is revealed. Shaw mocks deluded idealism in Candida, when a young poet becomes infatuated with the wife of a Socialist preacher. The Man of Destiny is a witty war of words between Napoleon and a strange lady, while in the exuberant farce You Never Can Tell a divided family is reunited by chance. Although Shaw intended Plays Pleasant to be gentler comedies than those in their companion volume, Plays Unpleasant, their prophetic satire is sharp and provocative., 0, Tor, New York.
