Talking Peace: A Vision for the Next Generation

Rating:
Summary: informative
Review: Jimmy Carter is able to bring the world's current issues to the youth of America in Talking Peace. His smooth flowing, usage of word is simple to comprehend and easy to follow. As Carter writes he pulls from his own experience and does not lead the reader on that the topics being discussed are not acheivable. He is helping countries all over the world with personal contributions and foundations set up by him and his wife. The issues that confront people of the world today are not passive and demand attention. Carter suggests, "Talking Peace" will ease the strain and will produce answers and solutions.

Summary: Informative yet enjoyable
Review: Jimmy Carter's Talking Peace is an exceptionally informative yet quite enjoyable book. The ex-Presidents views and insights into the world as we know it offer a glimpse of true love and compassion for all humanity. The numerous programs that are undertaken by the Carter Foundation provide many underprivileged individuals and families with a reality which is a little friendlier. Habitat for Humanity, for instance, is a great undertaking which provides homeless or poverty stricken people with a place to stay at little or no cost. President Carter is an extremely knowledgeable man whose knowledge equals, if not surpasses, many of the world's recognizable brilliant minds. The experiences he has gathered throughout his life, including both his upbringing and his presidency, allow him to discuss the implications of numerous things, many of which ordinary people do not consider. Overall Talking Peace is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to better themselves by reading it.

Summary: Misunderstood Former President's Masterpiece of Hope
Review: Jimmy Carter's words allowed me to see the world from another angle. Too often I become trapped in the comforts of this country and I neglect to think about the millions of people who are suffering around the world. In the United States, we concern ourselves over minimal things, such as a surplus of taxes, while citizens of third world countries are wondering if there will be food today. Reading Talking Peace was a wake-up call for me. The mediation skills I learned from the unselfish Jimmy Carter will be useful in my future days of politics. Although mediation is not the major theme of the book, I gained knowledge from former President Carter's skill of being impartial in order to resolve conflicts with various countries of the world. I will remember former President Carter's words when I am in the Oval Office one day. Hopefully great changes will occur thanks to the concepts shared in this book.

Summary: Talking Peace
Review: This book is an awesome book because it not only mentions the various conflicts around the world that Americans are unaware of, but it goes into depth about struggles and the interventions by Jimmy Carter to solve these conflicts. This book is an eye-opener to the numerous freedoms and priveleges we often take for granted and that others strive for. Jimmy Carter discusses the attempts of organizations such as the Carter Center and the UNICEF to establish peace and suitable living conditions around the world. Jimmy Carter does not neglect the potential of young Americans and encourages them to do what they can do to make the world a better place for everyone.
