Portrait of an Environmental Peace Project in Israel

This portrait of an environmental project in northern Israel is an inspiring beacon of hope. It is run by a dedicated group of Arabs and Jews, and teaches environmental awareness to local students. Its centrepiece is a waste water management system where the water is used to irrigate local farmland. Lavishly illustrated, this book brings the whole operation alive with vivid portraits of those people central to the enterprise as well as photographs of the work that has been going on. More broadly, the book is dedicated to a wider quest for peace based on Rudolf Steiner's idea of social threefolding in terms of liberty, fraternity and equality or the three aspects of peace - cultural, economic and political.
