The XXI century will be a сentury either of total all-embracing crisis or of moral and spiritual healing that will reinvigorate humankind. It is my conviction that all of us - all reasonable political leaders, all spiritual and ideological movements, all  faiths - must help in this transition to a triumph of humanism and justice, in making the XXI century a century of a new human renaissance.

Mikhail Gorbachev: Prophet of Change

In recognition of President Gorbachev’s 80th birthday, the founding President of Green Cross and his lifelong commitment to sustainability, GCI has published a book honouring the former President of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev: Prophet of Change. The publication traces the evolution of Gorbachev’s vision, in particular the origins and outcomes of his environmental agenda, which belong to the important legacy of changes Gorbachev initiated in the Soviet Union and the world.

This anthology, features select speeches and writings by President Gorbachev, as well as tributes from political contemporaries and partners in the environmental and peace movements. The tributes from colleagues and friends – ranging from political heavyweights President George Bush Sr. and Margaret Thatcher to renowned champions of sustainability Maurice Strong and Achim Steiner – reflect the esteem in which Mikhail Gorbachev is held, and the special place he occupies in the history of our times.

Clairview Books will publish Mikhail Gorbachev: Prophet of Change later this month on 26 April. For ordering information please visit Amazon and Clairview Books.
