Las guerras se hacen para conquistar territorios y poder. La mayor parte de las guerras actuales son guerras civiles que se producen para preservar la identidad étnica o religiosa, para poner fin a situaciones dramáticas de pobreza y explotación, o para tratar de corregir la historia. La mayor parte de las víctimas son civiles. El formato del Atlas de la guerra y la paz da forma y sentido a las estadísticas sobre las zonas más calientes del mundo, al tiempo que realiza una visión de conjunto sobre el terrorismo, el tráfico de armas, los campos de minas, el control del gasto militar y el papel de la ONU y la OTAN. El atlas del estado de la guerra y la paz comienza poniendo de manifiesto el trágico coste de la guerra -muertes, refugiados, colapso de naciones- y termina con una nota de esperanza, trazando el mapa de los esfuerzos diplomáticos y los procesos a favor de la paz.

Moins de deux ans après la chute du mur de Berlin, l''édifice de paix élaboré après la Seconde Guerre mondiale s''est fissuré. Les organismes non gouvernementaux ont dénoncé, impuissants, génocides et crimes de guerre. Mais leur voix n''est pas suffisamment relayée pour alerter de la réalité des conflits. Car si certaines guerres - Irak, Afghanistan, Bosnie - bénéficient d''une immense couverture médiatique, mobilisent l''opinion publique et les analystes géo-politiques, elles ne représentent pourtant qu''à peine 10 % des conflits contemporains. Aujourd''hui, la majorité des guerres se produisent au sein des Etats : guerres ethniques, partitions, guerres d''identité. Quel regard porter sur ces conflits ? Quel autre critère que l''assurance d''une existence décente pour les populations civiles permet de justifier le recours à la guerre ? Pour tenter de comprendre, L''Atlas des guerres et des conflits dans le monde analyse l''origine des guerres, leur localisation, les moyens humains et techniques qu''elles mettent en œuvre. Les problèmes clés sont abordés par le biais de cartes inédites, claires, lisibles la capacité militaire réelle des Etats, les répercussions morales et humaines des guerres, les armes de destruction massive, la réalité du marché international des armes, la menace terroriste, les acteurs de la paix. Asie, Europe, Afrique du Nord et Proche-Orient, Etats-Unis et Amérique latine, l''atlas dresse un bilan précis, chiffré, documenté de chaque région du monde, afin de mettre à jour ses dynamiques de guerre et de paix. Un ouvrage synthétique, accessible, outil de sensibilisation et de travail sans équivalent, pour tous les citoyens, en particulier, les enseignants et les étudiants.

Conner Warren never expected to meet a real-life angel, but that he did, one day in a bizarre scene in his pub. A desperate man takes a seat on a barstool and minutes later pulls a shotgun from his coat and points it at Conner. A big man at the other end of the bar grabs the barrel of the gun until it turns red hot, forcing the man to drop it. The big man turns out to be Hadranoel--a Holy angel from God. Conner had no interest in God, even though his African American girlfriend, Cassie Graham, constantly witnessed to him. Things changed for Conner when his ex-military friend Clive Turner, now in the Middle East, started sending packages of artifacts to Conner''s pub for safe keeping. Other people from the Middle East also wanted the rich treasure that Conner now possessed. After several harrowing experiences, Conner knew he was in over his head. Hadranoel was present to protect Conner and slowly help him to see that God loved him and wanted him in the kingdom. After Cassie become deathly ill with a kidney condition, Conner figured out that one of the vials of artifacts that he now possessed, might have a cure for Cassie. Conner made a deal with God, that he would serve him if He healed Cassie. Clive had been healed by accident when he was shot while escaping gunfire in the Middle East. The bullet had broken the vial which was in his breast pocket, and his healing had materialized. Cassie was completely healed overnight, and they eventually married.
