Description for War No More: Eliminating Conflict in the Nuclear Age
Paperback. 'Readers cannot do better than mark every word [Joseph Rotblat] utters. He can still save us all if we can persuade our rulers to listen.' Michael Foot, Tribune Num Pages: 240 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: GTJ.

Weight in Grams: 362.
At a time when terrorism is opening the way for new forms of warfare worldwide, this book provides a much-needed account of the real dangers we face, and argues that the elimination of weapons of mass destruction and of war are attainable and necessary goals.
Written by Nobel Peace prize winner and former nuclear physicist Joseph Rotblat, who was involved in the creation of the first atom bomb, and biologist/ psychologist Robert Hinde, War No More provides expert insight into the nature of modern warfare - including weapons of mass destruction. Examining the key factors that contribute to conflict, the authors explain how best to approach a peaceful future.
If war is ever to be eliminated, we must address key issues such as the gap between rich and poor; have fully effective arms controls, and above all we must have better education. The authors emphasise the United Nations - as well as NGOs, religious groups, and grassroots movements - also have important parts to play.

About Robert Hinde
Robert Hinde was Emeritus Royal Society Research Professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge, and a Fellow and former Master of St John's College. He trained as an RAF pilot in WW2 and wrote extensively on the causes of wars. He was the co-author of War No More (Pluto, 2003) and held the Hitchcock Professorship at the University of California, Berkeley, and was an honorary Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences. Joseph Rotblat (1908-2005) was a British-naturalised Polish physicist who participated in the U.S. atomic bomb project. After the war, he devoted himself to the peaceful application of nuclear physics. In 1955 he joined a group of scientists arguing for an end to nuclear weapons, and helped to found the annual series of conferences on arms control. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995 and was the co-author of War No More (Pluto, 2003).
