Book excerpt: The World Encyclopedia of Peace is the first attempt of its kind to provide an integrated body of information on peace in all its aspects. The Encyclopedia has two predominant themes: peace research and peace activism. In combining these two themes, the Editors have sought to demonstrate the inter-relationships between them and the ways in which they have fostered each other. Consequently, peace is discussed in these volumes from a very broad spectrum of perspectives: from the idealist to the realist; from the global to the subnational; from the cultural to the economic; from the religious to the feminist; and from the historical to the contemporary.
