Joseph Beuys offers a perspective with his slogan 'Everybody an artist'. Everybody, as he points out, has creative powers within oneself which the awakening of is an urgent challenge. The wider understanding of art as he calls it does not allow a distinction between the professional artist on the one side and a receptive public on the other. Rather, through the realization of one's own artistic abilities, one arrives at an integration of art into life. Joseph Beuys, who within the 'art-world' itself is at the same time widely acclaimed for his work and often rejected for his so-called political activities, shares his thoughts about art and social change with us in this issue, while Thomas M. Messer, who as the director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum first presented him to the American public in 1980, discusses Beuys' place in contemporary art and offers an evaluation of his specific achievements. While Joseph Beuys asks us to re-consider the place of art in our life, H.H. The Dalai Lama of Tibet, in this issue's 'Viewpoint' speaks about the necessary introduction of ethical values to our capitalistic system. The reconciliation between materialism and spirituality often viewed as an East-West synthesis, is presented by him as the only viable way for regaining a balance, that apparently has been lost in our striving for a materialistic understanding of the world. We hope the reviews of Peace Pilgrim, Nostradamus and others will present you with interesting information and will kindle in you an appreciation for the communication of ideas offered through books. After all, the freedom to publish, to put forth one's ideas through books and articles is an indication of peace, and we should not forget those men and women who are being hindered by various means of terror and oppression from freely expressing themselves in their respective fields, be it in South America, the Soviet Union, South Africa or other countries. As an international publication The New Age Book Review informs people all over the world of the constructive attempts being made by today's major thinkers to present inspiring ideas and to express and articulate the never ending development of humankind.
