"Are you one of the majority of people (as I was yesterday) who think war is inevitable, that there's nothing anyone can do to stop it? That it's part of the human condition and we must accept that, no matter what we do, war will always be with us? Then you need to hear the words of Dr. Judith Hand! I thought I was too jaded to be amazed by a new approach to this old subject, but her insights into war and peace riveted my attention, and that of everyone in the room. You'll be surprised at what you will learn." Sandi Nielubowicz, President La Jolla Branch, National League ofAmerican Penwomen "Judith Hand describes facts fundamental to understanding how people view conflict prevention and peace. Well researched. Well presented. Her message is recommended for all who want to achieve long-lasting peace on this planet." Roar Johnsen First Vice-President, International Humanistand Ethical Union (IHEU) and Past President, Norwegian HumanistAssociation "Dr. Hand's talk to the Davis Peace Coalition on the evolutionary roots of cooperative behavior as this relates to war was clear and amazingly informative. Many in the audience said they found it inspiring. Hand is knowledgeable and remarkably communicative." Claude Garrod Emeritus Professor of Physics, University of California, Davis "Dr. Hand's insights are keen, her presentation professional, and her manner, heart-felt. Our university women learned the basis for the peace movement Dr. Hand proposes and also how to move forward. Her talk to a packed house was most enthusiastically received. We will definitely bring her back!" Gail R. Dimitroff, PhD Leadership and Human Behavior Chair,International Relations American Association of UniversityWomen, La Mesa - El Cajon Branch "Judith Hand is an evolutionary thinker-activist who offers humanity a vision/project for creating a world safe for all children, and in the process, eliminating war from our cultures. This is an adaptive challenge whose time has come." Manuel Manga Director, Center for Evolutionary Leadership View a clip at www.afww.org.
