I have many people to thank for helping me in this intellectual adventure – exploring the theory and practice of peacekeeping and the applications of technology. Professor John Polanyi at the University of Toronto first propelled me in this direction with an inspiring speech and a personal interview in 1982 on a proposed International Satellite Monitoring Agency. George Ignatieff, as President of Science for Peace, encouraged me to look at how science and technology could assist arms control and the United Nations, where he had served as Canadian ambassador and earned the moniker “peacemonger”, of which he was rightly proud.
