A note on the e-book version in 2022
Why now and why an e-book version of The Practice of Peace? Stunned by war raging in Ukraine and raging in many other places on planet earth with ensuing famines, one hundred million refugees and other crises, the demand for the book rose. Human Systems Dynamics Institute that published the second edition in 2004 reported that it was out of print. Both Harrison Owen and the Institute gave green light for a quick e-book version of this edition. Other drivers to publish it again were the following sentences in the invitation to a Practicing Peace event in 2005: “Peace and peacemaking often are thought to be the special preserve of diplomats and professional negotiators, but Peace is too important to leave to the professionals. It is everybody’s business. Furthermore, when we have to call in the professionals, that is clear and certain evidence that we (all of us) have not been doing our job. Peacemaking is an everywhere, every day, every person job.”
That’s why!
