Arun Gandhi – författare

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Gift written and read by Arun Gandhi.''Anger is good. It is an energy that compels us to define what is right and wrong'' - Mahatma Gandhi, to his grandson, ArunThe moving, often irreverent, story of Arun''s years growing up at the iconic Sevagram ashram provides the setting for the treasured moments spent his grandfather, which are an engaging and often surprising read. These memories give a rare insight into Gandhi the man behind the icon, and reveal the motivations behind his ten inspirational lessons. Arun believes that the violence in the world today makes Gandhi''s teachings more vital than ever, and The Gift places these lessons in a modern context, shedding new light on how Gandhi''s principles can - and must - be applied to today''s concerns.Formerly published as The Gift of Anger.

In Humanities Perspectives in Peace Education: Re-Engaging the Heart of Peace Studies, scholar-teachers across a variety of humanities fields explore the content, methods, and pedagogies that are unique to their respective disciplines in contributing to the study of peace and justice. In recent decades, even as peace scholarship has burgeoned, many peace studies texts, including those that purport to be interdisciplinary in nature, have emphasized social science perspectives and, in some cases, have foregone exploration of the role of the humanities altogether in comprehensive peace education. While humanities scholars continue to stake out space for peace scholarship within their fields, no volume has attempted to collect the wisdom of multiple humanities disciplines in order to make the case for their critical role in authentic peace education. Humanities Perspectives in Peace Education addresses that shortcoming in the field of peace studies by exploring the ways in which the humanities are uniquely situated to contribute particular content, knowledge, skills, and values required of comprehensive peace education, scholarship, and activism. These include the development of empathy and understanding, creative vision and imagination, personal and communal transformation toward ''the good'' in society (such as the pursuit of justice, nonviolence, freedom, and human thriving), and field-specific analytical lenses of their own, among other contributions.

Both teachers and students of peace will find value in this interdisciplinary humanities volume. Each chapter of Humanities Perspectives in Peace Education offers a deep-dive into a particular humanities field-including philosophy, literature, language and culture studies, rhetoric, religion, history, and music-to mine the field’s unique contributions to peace and justice studies. Scholars ask: ''What are we missing in peace education if we fail to include this academic discipline?'' Chapters include suggestions for peace pedagogies within the humanities field as well as bibliographies and suggestions for further reading.
