What Every Person Should Know About War
Acclaimed New York Times journalist and author Chris Hedges offers a critical -- and fascinating -- lesson in the dangerous realities of our age: a stark look at the effects of war on combatants. Utterly lacking in rhetoric or dogma, this manual relies instead on bare fact, frank description, and a spare question-and-answer format. Hedges allows U.S. military documentation of the brutalizing physical and psychological consequences of combat to speak for itself. Hedges poses dozens of questions that young soldiers might ask about combat, and then answers them by quoting from medical and psychological studies. • What are my chances of being wounded or killed if we go to war? • What does it...
Peace Through Health
We typically define and talk about wars using the language of politics, but what happens when you bring in a doctor’s perspective on conflict? Can war be diagnosed like an illness? Can health professionals participate in its mitigation and prevention? The contributors to Peace through Health: How Health Professionals Can Work for a Less Violent World engage with these ground-breaking ideas and describe tools that can further peace once war is understood as a public health problem. The idea of working for peace through the health sector has sparked many innovative programs, described here by over 30 experts familiar with the theory and practice of Peace through Health. They cover topics suc...
Finland and National Liberation in Southern Africa
Finland's special characteristics as a Nordic, non-aligned welfare state gave it the resources and motivation to support liberation movements - in spite of restrictions arising from trade interests and a reluctance to jeopardise the country's neutral image. The study shows that, although it is not an easy task, in a democracy ordinary, dedicated people can, over time, influence political decision making at its most closed and guarded area, foreign politics.

Sankareita vai pelkureita
Runsas vuosisata suomalaista siviilivastarintaa Sukellus suomalaisen rauhanliikkeen ja pasifismin historiaan. Vaikka aseistakieltäytyminen on aina kuulunut Suomessa yhteiskunnan marginaaliin, se on usein herättänyt intohimoja, laajaa poliittista ja kulttuurista kuohuntaa. Myrskyt ovat jo tyyntyneet, mutta silti aseistakieltäytyjä asettuu yhä valinnallaan poikkiteloin sovinnaisuuden kanssa.Miekkoja on taottu auroiksi oman hengenkin uhalla. Aseistakieltäytyjät on nähty niin marjamiehinä , omantunnonarkoina kuin sivistyksen esitaistelijoinakin. Miten heihin on eri aikoina suhtautunut julkinen sana, laki, puolustuslaitos tai kirkko? Sankareita vai pelkureita kertoo ensimmäistä kertaa maamme aseistakieltäytymisen koko historian 1800-luvulta nykypäiviin. Kalevi Kalemaa (s. 1941) on tamperelainen kirjailija.
