Nonkilling Global Political Science Summary: This book is offered for consideration and critical reflection primarily by political science scholars throughout the world from beginning students to professors emeriti. Neither age nor erudition seems to make much difference in the prevailing assumption that killing is an inescapable part of the human condition that must be accepted in political theory and practice. It is hoped that readers will join in questioning this assumption and will contribute further stepping stones of thought and action toward a nonkilling global future.

Toward a Nonkilling Paradigm Summary: The open challenge to the widespread acceptance of lethality and lethal intent trespasses the limits of an ideology for social change entailing a new scientific model based on the refutation of killing-accepting science. This volume brings together 24 authors and 14 disciplines (Anthropology, Arts, Biology, Economics, Engineering, Geography, Health Sciences, History, Linguistics, Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Psychology and Sociology) to seriously consider the prospects for the realization of nonkilling societies and to challenge each discipline’s role in the necessary social and scientific transformation.

Nonkilling Psychology Summary: This book demonstrates the rich diversity of research approaches developed so far within the field of psychology. In this collection of essays, one moves from biomedical aspects to moral dimensions, through various renditions of social psychology. The book is organized into three sections: (I) psychological causes and consequences of killing; (II) The prevention of killing: from interpersonal to international; and (III) personal transformation: from killing to nonkilling. What brings humans to kill each others or themselves? Is a nonkilling society possible? Answers have been attempted, unanswered questions have been raised, and unexplored issues wait for further investigation.

Nonkilling Korea: Six Culture Exploration Summary: In contrast to academic and policy studies that concentrate on political-military-economic aspects of Korea since Division and the Korean War, authors in this book seek to discover nonkilling cultural features in South and North Korea, America, China, Japan, and Russia that can contribute to realization of a unified Nonkilling Korea – A Korea in which no Koreans kill other Koreans, no foreigners kill Koreans, and no Koreans are sent abroad to kill. Discoveries reported here provide confidence that nonkilling cultural values and capabilities can be found in all six societies that can benefit each and all in progress toward the measurable goal of a killing-free Korea and world. Readers are invited to join in further explorations. This book reports on the Nonkilling Korea: Six Culture Exploratory Seminar convened by the Asia Center/Seoul National University and the Center for Global Nonkilling/ Honolulu in Seoul during August 18-19, 2010..

Engineering Nonkilling: Scientific Responsibility and the Advancement of Killing-Free Societies Summary: The present volume raises an important question: what kind of science and applications needs to be engineered to work towards a killing-free world? Bringing forward a nonkilling approach to problem-solving, the diverse chapters provide insights into practice of engineering, mathematics, and physics, but are extensible to other sciences, pointing to the potential scope of new research agenda that could benefit from focussing on interplay between science, ethics, philosophy, politics, and human nature. As the reader will realize, the nonkilling vision of this book goes far beyond the normative stand of rejecting killing. It implies the constructive engagement in societal transformation, where all fields of knowledge need to be thoughtfully applied.

Nonkilling Geography Summary: Geography, in particular, can (and has) contributed significantly to our understanding of the various "spaces" of killing. However, to date, there has been no overarching, singular focus promoted by Geographers toward nonkilling. This volume constitutes the first, direct engagement by a panel of Geographers to think through the idea of a nonkilling society. Contributors were asked to think broadly, to expand our intellectual—and moral—horizon to question killing and nonkilling, violence and nonviolence. And in the pages that follow, readers will experience a vast array of ideas, an unfolding of a larger intellectual quest that has the singular goal of contributing toward a nonkilling and nonviolent world.

Nonkilling Societies Summary: This volume arises from a crucial question formulated by political scientist Glenn D. Paige: “Is a Nonkilling Society Possible?” Paige (and much of the evidence brought for-ward in this book) reminds us that nonkilling societies, characterized by no killing of humans and no threats to kill, do exist in spite of having passed largely unnoticed to most of the scientific community. Most authors who are contributing to this volume have been repeating the same crucial fact for decades: killing-free societies, as those imagined by Paige in his book, are not a utopian dream; they are a genuine actuality that has been in existence for millenia. It can probably be said louder but not more clearly. This volume provides firm evidence that the only feasible answer to Paige’s question is undoubtedly affirmative.

Nonkilling History: Shaping Policy with Lessons from the Past Summary: The surprise insight from Nonkilling History is that what did not happen explains why humanity lives today. This turns upside down understanding of history as the story of the victory of righteous or reprehensible human violence in struggles to satisfy human aspirations, wants, and needs. In the introduction to nonkilling historiography that begins the present volume, editor Antony Adolf advances far beyond such common sense understanding. He establishes seminal methodology for establishing a new nonkilling science of history. Such a science will not only help to explain past to present human survival but will inform decisions, individual and collective, to promote future killing-free societies that sustain and celebrate human life. The invitation to explore nonkilling history in this volume will interest not only young and old scholars in history and other academic disciplines, but will surely invite nonkilling questions by general readers as well.

Violence and Health Summary: In 2002 the World Health Organization’s World Report on Violence and Health concluded that human violence is a “preventable disease.” It identified the belief that violence is inevitable in the human condition as the main obstacle to progress and grounded confidence for change in provision of contrary science-based knowledge, education, and recommendations for action by decision makers and the public in all sectors of local, national, and global society. CGNK to the World Health Organization for making the presentation of this book possible, reaching out to an ever widening circle of readers and leaders who can join in taking steps toward a killing-free world. Full Report and additional WHO materials are available online.

Quest for Gandhi: A Nonkilling Journey Summary: At the southern tip of India, the small inlet of Kanyakumari brushes with the waters of Indian Ocean while Dehradun, capital of India’s new state of Uttranchal in the North juts with the mountainous ranges of Himalayas. The book, a deep desire to understand the meaning and relevance of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s inclusive message of nonviolent political action in early 21st Century, is from Balwant Bhaneja’s, a retired Canadian diplomat, travel journal about meetings in the spring of 2006 with individuals, young and old, across India who in their unique ways have been impacted by Gandhi’s life and have chosen to follow the nonviolent path for social justice and a nonkilling peace. While on the way to visit them, the journey also becomes a pilgrimage to some of the places, where Mahatma Gandhi stayed during the struggle for India’s Independence from the British Rule.

Nurturing Nonkilling. A Poetic Plantation Summary: These poems by Francisco Gomes de Matos collected to honor the eightieth birthday of the great pioneer of nonkilling thought, Glenn Paige, both show and tell the same thing: that nonkilling thought, act, imagination, art, feeling, commitment, teaching, and career can be experienced, thought about, committed to, felt, imagined, and taught in a whole world of permutations and combinations far beyond innocence. Behind all this lurks mortality. Only in these poems mortality is celebrated, not feared. Like Glenn Paige, they demand intellectual courage with the smile of rational equanimity.

Общество без Убийства: Возможно ли это? (Russian) Резюме: Эта книга предлагается для внимательного и критического прочтения в первую очередь всем тем, кто интересуется политическими науками, — от студентов-первокурсников до маститых профессоров. Ни возраст, ни уровень образования и эрудиции не мешает людям разделять широко бытующее мнение, что убийство является неизбежным спутником человеческого существования и что это должны признавать политическая теория и практика. Автор очень надеется, что читатели вместе с ним усомнятся в непреложности такого представления и внесут свой посильный вклад идей и действий в фундамент будущего глобального общества, основанного на неприятии убийства.

Pas plus l'âge que le niveau d'érudition ne semble changer grand chose à la présomtion prédominante voulant que tuer fait inévitablement partie de la condition humaine, at que la théorie comme la pratique politiques doivent l'accepter. Nous espérons que les lecteurs se joindront au mouvement de questionnement de cette présomtion et contribueront par des réflexions et des actions à paver la voie vers un avenir mondial sans meurtre.

Nonkilling. Wissenschaft von der nicht tötenden Gesellschaft (German) Zusammenfassung: Dieses Buch soll zum Nachdenken und zur kritischen Betrachtung anregen, vor allem Politikwissenschaftler in der ganzen Welt, vom Erstsemester-Studenten bis hin zum Professor Emeritus.

Es ist zu hoffen, dass sich die Leserinnen und Leser daran beteiligen, diese Annahme zu hinterfragen und weitere Ideen und Taten beizusteuern, als Sprungbretter für eine Zukunft des globalen Nichttötens.

Nonuccidere: Una nuova scienza politica globale (Italian) Contenuti: Tutta la scienza politica è costruita sul presupposto che l’uso della forza è necessario. Tuttavia, diverse ricerche scientifiche in campo biologico e culturale hanno concluso che gli esseri umani sono altrettanto capaci di non uccidere. Secondo Glenn D. Paige le istituzioni che hanno dimostrato una capacità di soluzione pacifica dei conflitti possono organizzarsi per contribuire allo sviluppo di una civiltà nonletale. Questo è il suo contributo alla rivisitazione globale delle scienze politiche, nella loro organizzazione accademica e nel loro ruolo sociale. Order hardcopies from Editrice Missionaria Italiana.
