Speaking in Maine offers an address by Tad Daley, a fellow with the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War and policy advisor to Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Democrat from Ohio.
His discussion centers around the topic of his book Apocalypse Never: Forging the Path to a Nuclear-Weapon-Free World.
Daley, who is a fellow with the Nobel Peace Prize-winning organization International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, will discuss his scholarship and advocacy for defining a progressive foreign policy vision for the post-9/11 world, abolishing nuclear weapons, ending genocide forever, reinventing the United Nations, and articulating an ethic of allegiance to humanity. "Tad Daley explains in commonsense language the process for bringing a nuclear weapon-free world from utopia to reality," says Congressman Dennis Kucinich.
Joseph Cirincione, president of The Ploughshares Fund, notes, "Tad Daley takes a penetrating look at the threat President Barack Obama calls 'the gravest danger to the American people,' and details how the only real solution is to move steadily towards eliminating the weapons that can destroy the world. We would be wise to listen."
Daley has published numerous articles in newspapers, magazines, professional journals, and Web forums on positive future visions and the politics of hope. His newspaper op-eds have appeared in the International Herald Tribune, Los Angeles Times, USA TODAY, Christian Science Monitor, Philadelphia Inquirer, Miami Herald, and many other newspapers.
