Come discuss this powerful book with editors Susan Griffin and Karin Lofthus Carrington and contributors Daniel Ellsberg, George Lakoff, Rebecca Solnit, Joan Miura and Howard Teich. Peter Coyote said “A book and an unexploded bomb may lay equally motionless, but their kinetic potential is vastly different. A bomb may kill hundreds of people, but a book can change millions-think of Common Sense, Das Kapital, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, or The Gulag Archipelago. To that energizing company, add Transforming Terror. This practical, inspiring book cuts through moral relativism by defining terror according to how it affects its victims. It is a luminous collection of wisdom. You’ll want many of these essays in your library forever. I needed to read it and you do, too.”
