Inhaltsangabe

To launch an international campaign on behalf of the world's children, Nelson Mandella spoke of the need for action to address the many threats facing children around the globe. He called for adults to "turn this world around." That phrase struck a cord with scientists, psychologists, philosophers, and celebrities internationally, among them Raffi Cavoukian. The award-winning children's troubadour better known as Raffi turned Mandela's phrase not only into a song, but into the basis for a compassionate revolution called for in a philosophy he calls "Child Honoring." His philosophy is the inspiration for this remarkable book, co-edited with psychology professor Sharna Olfman, outlining unprecedented threats to life at this defining moment in history, and offering a systemic remedy based on honoring our youngest and most valuable players in society. Stellar contributors to this groundbreaking anthology come from across disciplines and include renowned child development author Penelope Leach, Nobel Prize nominee Lloyd Axworthy, celebrated cultural historian Riane Eisler, bestselling authors Barbara Kingsolver and Mary Gordon, and famed physicist Fritjof Capra.
