UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS PRESS HAS BOOKS BY NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER

"The book’s main lesson is. . . that adversaries in the Middle East can take giant steps towards peace if America’s president acts as a 'trusted mediator’ and an 'unwavering, enthusiastic’ partner in the process." —Newsweek

"The man revealed in these pages seems to embody so much of what Americans claim to admire—self-reliance, honesty, humor, modesty, intelligence—the stuff of heroes."—New York Times Book Review

"Responsible, truthful, intelligent, earnest, rational, purposeful. Thus the man: thus the book."—The Washington Post

This is a warm, unpretentious account of how Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter created a new full life after years in the White House. The Carters propose dozens of ways for any couple in career transition to renew their commitment to themselves and to life. They discuss their long and eventful marriage, examine America's urgent health issues, describe their work for Habitat for Humanity, and discuss projects sponsored by the Carter Center.

Sixty-two of the best and most notable public statements made by Jimmy Carter on his way to becoming president of the United States. These public pronouncements address all the major concerns of our time and collectively stand as a testament to his deeply held conviction that we still can and must have "a government as good as its people."

In this autobiography, Jimmy Carter details the youth and experiences that led him to seek the highest office in the land. He describes his idyllic childhood his naval career, his strong Christian underpinnings, and the values of his mother and father.

"What makes Rosalynn so interesting and her memoir so compelling is her awareness that she is part of a long and distinguished historical tradition: the southern lady in politics . . . What ought to be a continuing legacy is Rosalynn's success in breaking new ground as a First Lady without uprooting the traditions of the past." —Minneapolis Tribune
