5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning and inspirational, April 12, 2004

By A Customer

In the design community, we often talk about socially-responsible design, but remain stunted at this stage. The causes are certainly out there, and Peace: 100 Ideas shows how everyone can take matters into their own hands. This book is stunning in numerous ways: a well-designed Chicken Soup for the Soul, a righteous design exercise, a multi-functional portfolio of work, and an inspirational resource for designers and non-designers alike. It's one of my favorite books of the year for so many reasons, and if you're giving the gift of peace and/or want a rousing source of modern design, this book is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Inspiration, April 9, 2005

By	Shelly Sue "S. Michelle R." (Portfolio Center, ATL, GA) - See all my reviews

No longer do we have to view peace as a cliche or just something we talk about and never really do. This book is so wonderful. Each spread is a different take on each idea of how to make peace truely happen. I highly recommend this book to not only designers or other creatives, but it should be given as birthday gifts, graduation gifts, or even "just because gifts".

2.0 out of 5 stars Design Masturbation ?, August 9, 2004

By	Andre - See all my reviews

Each page of this book is beautiful. Aside from that it's basically meaningless, the 'illustrations' have either a very obvious or no connection to the peace ideas. It's great that 10% of the proceeds to wagingpeace.org's mission for a more peaceful world... but why would anyone want to spend so much money on a self-promo disguised as a socially relevant book.
