Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev

In these long-awaited memoirs, Mikhail Gorbachev looks back on a lifetime that mirrors the fate of the Russian people. From the persecution of his family under Stalin to his first political steps, to his extraordinary rise within the Communist Party, Gorbachev recounts the events that led to his own disillusionment, without which the eventual implosion of communism would not have taken place. He casts an equally sharp eye on the policies of both past communist governments and present-day reformers.

Memoirs

Gathering some of the best writing on working with diversity, this anthology honors a multiplicity of viewpoints as part of a larger evolutionary shift in expanding the planet's consciousness. Mikhail Gorbachev describes diversity as a key factor in creating a "new civilization"; anthropologist Riane Eisler proposes a partnership approach between men and women; and Suzie Williams offers diversity-based "recipes for synergy".
