(Is the threat or use of nuclear weapons ever permissible?...)
Is the threat or use of nuclear weapons ever permissible? This question was, at the request of the United Nations General Assembly, put before the International Court of Justice in 1996 for an advisory opinion. An evenly divided Court concluded that "the threat or use of nuclear weapons would generally be contrary to the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict, and in particular the principles and rules of humanitarian law" -not an outright condemnation, but certainly strong enough to set in motion the serious initiative to outlaw nuclear weapons currently before the nations of the world. The Court's advisory opinions are considered non-binding, and yet this is the only statement by the world's highest tribunal on this question. Thus, as the only authoritative pronouncement on the subject, it carries great weight for the future of nuclear weapons and international law itself. In a broader sense, the Court's Opinion has considerable significance regarding the future of the international order and even the survival of humanity. In an historical context, the authors of this deeply engaged book examine the Court's Opinion and the logic leading to its conclusion. They study the implications of the Opinion for the future of nuclear weapons policy, the law of armed conflict, and the role of the Court's advisory jursidiction, especially on issues that affect the future of humanity. They also study separate and dissenting opinions, as well as the role of citizens groups in bringing this crucial question before the Court.

(What do you worry about? -"Do I have any real friends?" ...)
What do you worry about? -"Do I have any real friends?" -"Will I ever find a spouse?" -"If I do find one, will he or she be faithful?" -"Will we be able to have kids?" -"What about my health?" There's always something to worry about. David Powlison recognizes that we have good reason to worry about things. But he assures us that we have much better reasons not to worry! Anxiety is a universal human experience, and we need to approach it with a plan. What do you do when anxieties take over your life? Powlison describes a six-point game plan based on these truths: "It is your Father's pleasure to give you the kingdom. Your father is God. You need not worry." There are 26 other helpful booklets in the Resources for Changing Lives series.

Winner of the 2008 Montaigne Medal, an award designated by the Hoffer Awards for thought-provoking titles. These are veterans with a point of view whose trajectories of belief had many different starting points, took many different paths, but in every case led to an abhorrence of war.; anti-war feeling among veterans has not been given the attention it deserves, and this volume is an attempt to correct that imbalance, writes Howard Zinn in the Foreword. Veterans speak of war and peace with a certain creditability that others lack. Having experienced war and peace more intimately than many others, their responses and thoughts reflect the life-defining or life-changing capacity of war. Long Shadows is a collection of 19 interviews with veterans who candidly discuss their paths from military involvement to peace activism. Beginning with a veteran of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade during the Spanish Civil War and ending with a veteran of the Iraq war, each tells a unique story with an individual perspective, and yet, each echos the message of the futility and destruction of war. The long shadows of war are evident in each of the interviews, with each participant hoping that his or her experience will inform others and contribute to the public discussion.
