Thinkers Lodge Its History and Legacy

"Joseph Rotblat, Cyrus Eaton, Anne Eaton, Ruth Adams, and 22 scientists were peace activists seeking to build a world that would not incinerate in a nuclear holocaust. Author Cathy Eaton interviewed the people who worked at Thinkers Lodge. Their generosity of spirit, resiliency, and hard work created an ambience where visitors felt safe and ready to share ideas that can lead to positive change in a world endangered by weapons of mass destruction and perilous climate change. She recounts the stories of firefighters and villagers who saved the burning lodge, of staff who served guests, of conference drivers, of ship builders and space travelers, of architects and history teachers, of carpenters and mill owners.
