Nature and Value
This book brings together essays that individually and as a whole present a detailed and rigorous multidisciplinary exploration of the concept of nature and its wider ethical and political implications. The essays together present a revaluation of the natural world with a view to addressing some of the fundamental concerns of our time.
The End of the Age of Empire
People's power vs. nuclear power
Proliferation and Possession, Nonproliferation and Disarmament
We rarely reflect on the fact that the United States did not encourage its wartime ally, Great Britain, to get the bomb. There was a first attempt, however equivocal, at nonproliferation; the Briti
From Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the New Nuclear Age

The Fate of the Earth and The Abolition
Now combined in one volume, these two books helped focus national attention in the early 1980s on the movement for a nuclear freeze. The Fate of the Earth painted a chilling picture of the planet in the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust, while The Abolition offered a proposal for full-scale nuclear disarmament. With the recent tensions in India and Pakistan, and concerns about nuclear proliferation around the globe, public attention is once again …

Letters From Prison and Other Essays
Among the voices that speak to us from Poland today, the most important may be that of Adam Michnik. Michnik now sits in a jail belonging to the totalitarian regime, yet his first concern--and herein lies one of the keys to his thinking, and one should add, to his character--is with the quality of his own conduct, which, together with teh conduct of other victims of the present situation, will, he is sure, one day set the tone for whatever politi…
