More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Two world-renowned global activists explore the rise of grassroots globalists -- citizens all over the world who are taking responsibility to build a more peaceful, harmonious, and sustainable future -- in this wide-ranging dialogue. They discuss their own backgrounds and what led them individually to activism on a world-wide scale. At the same time, they provide encouragement and concrete information for the millions of other concerned citizens who want to make a difference. A wide variety of issues that are now gaining greater recognition at all levels of society are explored, including sustainable development, economic justice, respect for indigenous peoples and their traditional lands and resources, democratising politics and international institutions, making corporations accountable, and conserving the Earth's bio-diversity, water, air quality, and climate.

The world we want
15 Sep 2004
Format:Hardcover
I can't imagine a more pleasant way to digest the history and aspirations of planetary citizenship than by participating with two of the globes most intrepid advocates. We literally feel as if we are chewing the fat with two champions as they courteously model the exquisite style of dialog that would have made us one planet years ago if we all could have done it so well. School yourself on how far we have come on our inevitable journey to planethood. Discover the milestone events of this journey and the key dimensions in our near future that will bring us the civilized and peaceful planet we all dream of. It's a very digestible afternoon of reading by two distinguished and visionary elders. Read this and give it to a friend. Jim Channon

Inspiring
12 Mar 2010
Format:Hardcover
This book was a really good read, teaches us how important it is that we as human beings, have a responsibility towards ourselves and other lifeforms sharing our planet. Also underlies how each of us should take a stance and do something about the problems facing us, rather than wait for someone else to do it.

Ideals Into Action!
17 April 2006
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Every dialogue of Daisaku Ikeda's is filled with wisdom and seems to embody the human spirit of compassion. In this particular dialogue, his profound insight is joined by the wisdom and ecouragement of a woman who has "walked the walk." If a woman of ideals who cares about this planet Earth wants to find an encouraging spirit at her side, as well as the rare example of a woman who has fought and won in the world of business and government, read this book!
