A new book just hit the shelves on Nobel Peace Laureate Joseph Rotblat's pursuit of nuclear peace.

Edwin Lyman wrote:
NOBEL laureate and eminent scientist Joseph Rotblat was a man of inexhaustible energy, optimism and dedication. In this new biography, author and radiation oncologist Andrew Brown faithfully captures his character. Keeper of the Nuclear Conscience chronicles Rotblat's journey from his beginnings in a prosperous Jewish family in Warsaw, Poland, before the first world war, to his rapid rise from electrician to internationally prominent nuclear physicist, and ultimately his committed opposition to nuclear weapons.

I had the privilege of attending the PeaceJam Conference with Sir Joseph Rotblat back in 2004. He is a very powerful speaker and had a beautiful presence. The PeaceJammers really responded to him and his story!
I hope this book really captures his magic!

Hi Dawn, The filmmakers have kindly made that excellent documentary of Rotblat's life available for free to watch online. Here's the link: http://www.nfb.ca/film/strangest_dream

I am in the film (for about 2 seconds in the background!). I also know the filmmaker Eric Bednarski if you would like to get in touch with him, maybe he can donate the film to the PeaceJam curriculum for Joseph Rotblat and Pugwash.

Best wishes,
Adam
