  • "The strength of this book is that it is the result of a faculty learning community which includes many disciplines. What is unique about this book is that each chapter reflects the point of view and the methodology of a particular discipline. The text is applicable to both scholars and practitioners in the field, and various chapters in this book would also be enlightening and beneficial to scholars in non-traditional peace building fields, allowing them to foster an understanding of the connections between their discipline and the peace building research and practice. Bringing the new voices of this book and their narratives into the field will only serve to strengthen the message of peace. It may also encourage scholars to continue to explore their field’s relationship to peace."
