The sixteen essays are organised into three sections; focusing on the fundamental concepts and values behind the convention; current projects and experiences of implementation; and prospects for future developments.

Both he and my mother were in the Pete Seeger era and enjoyed his music and philosophies. I ordered her this book this year for her 84th bday and she has immensley enjoyed it. speaking to my sister and myself quite highly of Mr. Seegers involvement of its development including his personal papers. I would think. knowing my mom as I do. that if anyone has an affection for Pete Seeger. then this would be a welcome gift or at least read.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Brilliant man. very interesting insight into an influential and controversial artist.By M. ThomasIts a blend of letters/articles/notes from periods long past and more recent. Interesting to see the take on the controversial items from the time they were happening. and then hearing about them from a wiser/older Pete.It is odd to hear so much about Communism in this book. but I think that Petes version of communism isnt what most would think of. Regardless of political perspectives. this man has lived through a lot of musical history. Hearing the parts about entertainers getting blackballed because of communist viewpoints is extremely eye opening. His views on the environment and music are also quite interesting.Some might not like the disjointed letter/article type history. but for me. its great because you can read what Petes thoughts were at the time. and it makes a great "pick it up and read a chapter" book. I also recommend viewing the documentary to get a perspective on Mr. Seeger prior to reading the book. Its a phenomenal film.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This book is such a gem.
