A telling account of ideas in action.May 27, 2010 * The New York Review of Books * As the book makes clear, the UN is important as a site-or as a sort of ecological environment-for not just the exercise of power but also the exercise of imagination.November/December 2009 * Foreign Affairs *

I am ever more persuaded that the United Nations has a vital and inescapable role in the 21st century. The lessons since 1945, as set out in the United Nations Intellectual History Project Series, contain many insights for our common future... UN ideas have been among the world organization's most important achievements... This project will continue to inspire innovation and scholarship for many decades to come. from the foreword by Kofi A. Annan, United Nations Secretary-General, 1997-2006
