About the Author :
Peter D. Hershock is Director of the Asian Studies Development Program at the East-West Center in Honolulu. He has published several books, including Buddhism in the Public Sphere: Reorienting Global Interdependence and Reinventing the Wheel: A Buddhist Response to the Information Age, also published by SUNY Press.

Review :
"...as a theoretical undertaking, the book is entirely successful. The arguments for change and the sorts of conceptualizations that are employed in these arguments are timely and well-presented, making this work an important contribution to the growing conversation about the need for a perspective that ... responsibly deals with emerging issues and predicaments in our global and interdependent world. On the whole, this is a valuable book and an important step towards bridging the gap between academic arguments and contemporary predicaments." - Philosophy East & West "...Hershock has written an important book. The book impressively achieves its primary aim: to show why diversity poses one of the greatest challenges of our time, and to begin laying the philosophical/conceptual groundwork for a global future where diversity is indeed deeply valued." - Journal of Value Inquiry
