JOIN US ... This book describes the gripping stories of more than 20 Nobel Peace Laureates and is targeting students and young leaders connected to the World Summits of Nobel Peace Laureates (2013). Description THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE is the most prestigious internationally recognized award in the world. Its recipients are extraordinary individuals, each of whom has had a significant and positive impact on our world today – in many instances they have changed it at great personal risk and sacrifice affecting untold lives in the process. Yet, at a time in our history when we need their voices most, the citizens of the world, especially youth, know precious little about them. This book, featuring the gripping stories of some of the latest Nobel Peace Laureates, seeks to change that. Being Nobel has been meticulously arranged, continent by continent, with separate chapters but carefully integrated marches of those who, by accident or design, shaped the world history of the last 50 years. Everyone is illustrated by vivid and sometime rare PHOTOGRAPHY and illuminated in equally compelling text. In emotional and uplifting interviews, the reader will find true inspiration and several unifying traits: courage, dedication, and selflessness. Throughout the pages of Being Nobel, readers learn about solidarity actions of influential CELEBRITIES who are using their fame to support humanitarian causes directly connected to the Nobel Peace Laureates. Not everyone will agree with each of the connections, but all will be entertained and, in most cases, educated by this book. The groundbreaking stories of the International CHILDRENS PEACE PRICE winners are also reported. By receiving this yearly world-renowned recognition from a Nobel Peace Laureate, these incredibly courageous kids get an outstanding permanent platform to speak out for childrens rights.
