McGinnis, James
This revised teacher's manual focuses on the need to develop compassionate concern in students if they are to be moved to action.

The units include: (1) "Of Dreams and Vision"; (2) "Interpersonal Peacemaking/Reconciliation"; (3) "Reconciliation--Turning Enemies and Strangers into Friends"; (4) "Interracial Reconciliation"; (5) "International Reconciliation: Dealing with Violence and War"; (6) "International Reconciliation: Global Interdependence"; (7) "Solidarity with the Poor"; and (8) "Becoming Friends with the Earth". Other special sections are "Helping Children Become Peacemakers: A Special Process"; "'A Methodology for Educating for Peace and Justice'"; and"'We Are a Rainbow People'" with music and directions for making paper cranes.
