27 October 2021 — World Beyond War
World BEYOND War’s Technology Director Marc Eliot Stein, working with the rest of our staff, has created an online database, easy to use and available to all at https://worldbeyondwar.org/resources
This is a collection of what we believe are the very best, most useful resources on numerous important topics. For example, if you choose the topic “Environment”, you’ll find 106 resources of all types on a page that looks like this:
If you then choose the resource type “Report”, you’ll find five key reports. If you choose instead the type “Article”, you’ll find 21 important articles. This new database does not replace the webpage making our basic argument about war and the environment (which shows up as the very first item under the Environment topic). Nor does it include more than a fraction of all of our publications on that topic (a link to all articles can be found on that basic-argument page). This is, instead, a new means of finding the very best publications on a topic, sorted by type or by language.
For example, here are resources for peace education, on nonviolence, about bigotry, for grassroots activism, about military bases, debunking the myth of inevitability, and on the economic cost of war. There are many more topics. You can also select multiple topics at once.
Along with sorting by topic, you can sort the resources by language and/or by type. Types include articles, books, reports, children’s books, comic books, poems, quotes, websites, podcasts, videos, webinars, films, music, graphics, infographics, logos, postcards, posters, maps, quizzes, mailing lists, fact sheets, sign-up sheets, flyers, guides, resolutions, powerpoints, and more.
Check it out and share it widely!
