Not only is it counter to human nature, but there are also many political, economic, and cultural obstacles to overcome. In \u003ci\u003eTransition to Peace\u0026gt;\/i\u0026gt;, author Russell Faure-Brac contends war is not a necessary evil; there are more effective and rational ways for the United States to defend itself.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this analysis, Faure-Brac examines where world peace stands now and how it relates to the rapidly changing world. He combines the nonviolent power of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King; the concept of Peaceful Warriorship as found in the martial arts of Aikido and Ninjutsu; and the Permaculture ideas of Earth Care, People Care, and Faire Share to form the basis for peace programs and three peace principles that he proposes as a new national security policy. Faure-Brac then lays out a plan for making the changes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThough world peace might be a challenging prospect, \u003ci\u003eTransition to Peace\u003c\/i\u003e shows that is possible to achieve it, and the United States can lead the rest of the world in the right direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Russell Faure-Brac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469730774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469730776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Russell Faure-Brac","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445007921407,"sku":"9781469730776","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c159e2b7-83ae-4c89-8a48-44883d657247.jpg?v=1777215996","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transition-to-peace-russell-faure-brac-9781469730776","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
