Descripción Buch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Any definition of a twentieth-century hero needs to encompass more than the heroic acts and godlike qualities recounted in myths and legends of old. But what is it in our modern world that drives some people to risk everything for a cause, another human being, or an ideal What do these heroes of conscience have in common, and what, if anything, sets them apart from the average person By compiling exceptional stories of moral heroism from a variety of sources, Heroes of Conscience explores these questions. In so doing, this important reference work also tells us something of ourselves as well as our contemporary values. Some heroes act upon the world's stage, like Jimmy Carter, Lech Walesa, Corazon Aquino, and Nelson Mandela. Others, such as Rosa Parks, act upon the strength of personal convictions. Within the biographical sketches that comprise this work, readers will encounter both familiar and unfamiliar individuals. Some heroes strive for religious freedom while others, such as Peace Pilgrim, dedicate themselves to world peace. Wars, too, create heroes from both soldiers and civilians, as the stories of Oskar Schindler, Elie Wiesel, and Ron Kovic illustrate. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780874368741
