Any time is a good time to examine the meaning of our lives. A new millennium offers a special invitation. This book lays bare the basic blueprint of our timeless search. Filled with autobiographical stories that link the author's search to our own, the book synthesizes the principles that link all archetypes together. As such, it transcends religious affiliation; it is like a DNA of our shared spiritual quest.

Military analyst, peace activist, teacher, and social theorist Randall Caroline Watson Forsberg (1943–2007) founded the Nuclear Freeze campaign and the Institute for Defense and Disarmament Studies. In Toward a Theory of Peace, completed in 1997 and published for the first time here, she delves into a vast literature in psychology, anthropology, archeology, sociology, and history to examine the ways in which changing moral beliefs came to stigmatize forms of "socially sanctioned violence" such as human sacrifice, cannibalism, and slavery, eventually rendering them unacceptable. Could the same process work for war? Edited and with an introduction by political scientists Matthew Evangelista (Cornell University) and Neta C. Crawford (Boston University), both of whom worked with Forsberg.
