Shalom. Salaam. Pax. Pace. Peace. Or for geeks, ☮

Peace Symbol Book by Ken KolsbunWhatever you think of the peace symbol--inspiring, cheesy, ubiquitous--you have to admit the history is pretty incredible. Or if you're not sure that it's pretty incredible, check out Peace: The Biography of a Symbol, peace activist Ken Kolsbun's brand new tome which is deserving of a nice spot right at the center of the coffee table.

The book uses words, artwork and stunning photos to tell the story of the symbol that launched a movement, defined a generation, and now looks cute on pendants, baby hats and backpacks everywhere.

Give it a chance. As a wise man once said. -Liz

Peace: The Biography of a Symbol is available at Amazon. [via mod•mom]
