Seventy-five of the world's greatest peacemakers -- spiritual leaders, politicians, scientists, artists, and activists -- testify to humanity's diversity and its potential. Featuring 16 Nobel Peace Prize laureates and such visionaries as Nelson Mandela, Cesar Chavez, Mother Teresa, Dr. C. Everett Koop, Thich Nhat Hanh, Elie Wiesel, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Coretta Scott King, Robert Redford, and more, the book profiles figures often working at the very nucleus of bitter conflicts. 100 black-and-white photos are included. "Architects of Peace honors a broad, eclectic mix of people whose efforts have enriched our planet." -- San Francisco Chronicle
