Reviews for Approaches to Peace

Approaches to Peace does an excellent job of framing excerpts from major works in peace studies. This technique helps instructors show their students why texts from previous historical periods remain relevant in the present day. Barash's introductions and editorial comments can be read as free-standing essays; they do an impressive job of explaining the major theories and concepts. --Mark Frezzo, University of Mississippi Approaches to Peace is very readable and offers comprehensive coverage of key themes. I think that it is one of the best readers. --Paula Rayman, University of Massachusetts, Lowell
