While there has been sustained interest in Gandhi's methods and
continued academic inquiry, Gandhi's Global Legacy: Moral Methods
and Modern Challenges is unique in bringing together an
interdisciplinary group of scholars who analyze Gandhi's tactics,
moral methods, and philosophical principles, not just in the fields
of social and political activism, but in the areas of philosophy,
religion, literature, economics, health, international relations,
and interpersonal communication. Bringing this wide range of
disciplinary backgrounds, the contributors provide fresh
perspectives on Gandhi's thought and practice as well as critical
analyses of his work and its contemporary relevance. Edited by
Veena R. Howard, this book reveals the need for reconstructing
Gandhi's ideas and moral methods in today's context through a broad
spectrum of crucial issues, including pacifism, health, communal
living, gender dynamics, the role of anger, and peacebuilding.
Gandhi's methods have been refined and reimagined to fit different
situations, but there remains a need to consider his concept of
Sarvodaya (uplift of all), the importance of economic, gender, and
racial equity, as well as the value of dialogue and dissenting
voices in building a just society. The book points to new
directions for the study of Gandhi in the globalized world.
Sir Howard Douglas (1776 1861) fought in the Napoleonic wars in
Spain, taught at the Royal Military College, served as
lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick, lord high commissioner of the
Ionian Islands, and as a Conservative M.P. for Liverpool. A
military scholar, fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and
Royal Society and associate of the Institution of Naval Architects,
he wrote widely on bridges, systems of defence and attack, and on
Britain's North American provinces. Written in retirement, when
Douglas became an unofficial advisor to a succession of prime
ministers, this work addresses the use of steam to propel ships,
with detailed analysis of design, steering, propeller and paddle
engineering and considerations of speed and manoeuvrability. The
book goes on to examine tactics, including breaking the line, fuel
economy and fleet arrangement. Built upon by others, this important
work, first published in 1858, remains of interest to military
historians.
Edited By L. C. Marshall. Additional Contributors Include Graham
Wallas, Rexford G. Tugwell, John B. Watson And Many Others.
