Fever in the World of the Mind
Fever in the World of the Mind presents an integrated formulation of violence, taking into consideration its biological, psychological, social, and spiritual roots. The author, Dr. H.B. Danesh, President of the International Education for Peace Institute, draws from his work over four decades as a university professor, psychiatrist, and peace educator, as well as from his research and writings on the psychology of spirituality. He brings his wide-ranging knowledge and expertise together and presents them in an integrated formulation on how to understand and prevent violence. The book outlines some of the unique dimensions of human violence. In doing so it departs significantly from the current broadly held views that human violence and animal violence are fundamentally the same, both shaped and replenished primarily by the biological and evolutionary forces. Fever in the World of the Mind is the sixth volume in the Education for Peace Integrative Curriculum Series.
The Unity-Based Family
Getting married, forming a family, and parenting are among the most consequential tasks we undertake in our lives. This book is about creating loving and united marriages, nurturing and happy families, and rearing healthy and successful children. It provides dramatically new concepts and practical strategies on how to achieve these noble objectives in our rapidly changing and challenging world. Based on current scientific research, original conceptual formulations, and intensive clinical studies, The Unity-Based Family is, at once, groundbreaking, enlightening, helpful, and profound.
Psychology of Spirituality
This book is written for those who ask difficult questions: What is the nature of human reality? What is the purpose of human life? What is love? What is reality? What is the secret of happiness? Do we have free will? Is transcendence real? Through case histories, in-depth analyses, and practical examples, the book offers new ways of addressing these and other important questions. 'The Psychology of Spirituality' demonstrates that life can, in fact, be good, happy and fruitful, and that we human beings are, indeed, noble beings only if we knew.

Myths of Peace and Democracy? Towards Building Pillars of Hope, Unity and Transformation in Africa
The myths of peace and democracy in Africa are at the heart of this volume. Democracy and peace have become buzz words across postcolonial Africa. The gospel of democracy and peace is preached by national governments and by civil society and international organisations alike. But to what extent are the ongoing sideshows and charades of quasi-oligarchies in Africa really democracy? What do ordinary Africans mean when they hunger and thirst for democracy and peace? Positive and noble as the loud sounding rhetoric about democracy and peace in Africa might seem, the reality of propaganda and dissemblance and of multi-dimensional violence are simply too overwhelming not to be disillusioning. This...
Marriage and the Family
Marriage and the Family presents an account of attitudes to marriage and the family in each of the major religious faiths - the Christian, Jewish, Moslem, Baha'i, Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist faiths - and includes the Humanist views of marriage and the family. Each article is written by a member of the respective faith and includes an account of the particular faith portrayed. The material available in English for such ceremonies varies greatly in different faiths. For example, Buddhist marriage ceremonies are mainly of recent date and have emerged in the West where such ceremonies are presented here in en English translation probably for the first time. The book is introduced with an essay by Professor Ronald Fletcher on the rapidly changing attitudes to marriage and an assessment of their significance. Janet Trotter follows his essay with a description of the legal problems by ethnic minorities in Britain.
Revitalizing Nigerian Education in Digital Age
Revitalizing Nigerian Education in Digital Age: What most of the papers in this book have in common is the concern for the revitalization of Nigerian education in the digital age through ICT and other modern methods of making education functional and effective in the new modernity. While some of the chapters deal with conceptual issues, others consider the various role of education in this digital age and how Nigeria can be relevant. Most of the chapters present well-researched, detailed, and informative papers on how to reposition Nigerian education in the digital age. Specifically, the role of education in bringing Nigeria's new world about are discussed in simple language and then taken up in different forms all through the book. Since Nigeria has to act fast and decisively to be on the same development and education wavelength as the other members of today's global family, serious actions are being suggested in this book. Revitalizing Nigerian Education in Digital Age simply means taking the above desiderata seriously. Nigeria has a daunting task here in view of the heavy education burden. This is the message that this book puts across.
