DR CALDICOTT ON CNN SUNDAY, MARCH 6TH
There is a very important television program that will be aired this Sunday, March 6 from noon until 3:00p.m on C-SPAN2 Book TV. I recommend taking the time to watch this interview or to have it recorded. Dr. Helen Caldicott is one of the world's most important peace activists. She educates millions of people around the world on the true dangers that nuclear weapons and technologies present to our human evolution. Dr. Caldicott is C-SPAN2 Book TV's guest on the March edition of In Depth. Dr. Caldicott, named one of the most influential women of the 20th century by the Smithsonian Institution, is the author of five books:

"Nuclear Madness" (1979), "Missile Envy" (1984), "If You Love This Planet: A Plan To Heal The Earth" (1992), "A Desperate Passion: An Autobiography" (1996), and "The New Nuclear Danger: George Bush's Military Industrial Complex" (2001; revised 2004)

She will appear LIVE on Book TV on March 6, 2005 from Noon-3pm ET. You can join the conversation by calling in during the program or by e-mailing your questions to booktv@c-span.org
