The authors categorize their choices under these headings: Choosing Nonviolence; Living Peace: Honoring Diversity; Valuing All Life; and Caring for the Planet. The peacemakers range chronologically from Henry David Thoreau and Henry Salt to living heroes such as Jane Goodall and Desmond Tutu.(KLIATT)
