Well worth reading, even in the 2000s because humankind is still endangered and still seeking escape...\" -- Peace Research June, 2000\"The pacifism in the book is backed up with reality. Should be in every library.\" -- The Meria Heller ShowIt's a fascinating book. The writing is vivid, with a strong sense of time and place. Ultimately it's very moving. -- Larry Lockridge, author of Shade of the RaintreeRemarkable personal testimony suggesting that peaceful patterns of life are here to take, if we but choose to see them. -- News, July 2001 of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning International Peace Bureau Product Description \"A bit difficult to get into at first, but things become clear as the story develops and as the young boy, C. J., matures. Well worth reading.\"-Dr. Hanna Newcombe, Peace Research\"Fascinating.\"-Dr. Larry LockridgeBelonging to the first generation of collegiate students never to have experienced a time without the possibility of nuclear war, C. J., Jack, and Leah, in their sometimes assured and other times hesitant movements toward each other, are struggling in the direction of a future they have always known they may not have. Then a crisis is inadvertently brought to all three lives by a psychiatrist involved in a pursuit of definitions of global sanity. It is a crisis the psychiatrist himself comes to share and which soon begins to give voice to what had been silences central to our time. Respectfully nonviolent, this coming-of-age novel builds into an insightful and feelingly true exploration of quandaries basic to our era and ultimately touching all our lives, if only indirectly. From the Author I have sought constructively to break a variety of silences most of which pertain to the central effects the stockpiling of nuclear weapons has had on our lives, as well as its attendant assumption that humankind is such only massive amounts of weapons can keep us from war.

I think your father would have said that if it seems to you there's someone you're coming to love, if passion strikes you, then follow it. You're old enough to hear that now. Love radiates outward from two people to others and to your own future, even if it doesn't seem to. I think that's what he would have said. Follow it even if it means censure and sorrow and regret. Even if it means social reprisals and economic upheavals. They don't matter as much as they might appear to . . . . But if there's a bit of love to Share, then take it, take it while you can, whatever the cost. That's how you'll become truly alive. The earnings and the buyings are often done merely to pass away the years. Love can last for ten minutes and not ever come again. Sometimes a few words or a look will be almost all of love that a life has. You should seize moments like that and cherish them. Even if what follows seems to contradict what occurred so severely you come to doubt it happened. Even then it can have been enough to bring you through the time ahead. Memories are all a person really owns.'\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944503968032,"sku":"NEW0595002579","price":27.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/how-did-that-sun-get-out-0595002579","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
