Awearness: Inspiring Stories about How to Make a Difference

Awearness: Using Ordinary Resources to Do Extraordinary Things introduces readers to a wide range of important social concerns through a collection of first-hand stories and conversations between well known, real-life advocates such as Eve Ensler, Rosie O'Donnell, Harry Belafonte, Sharon Stone, Robert Redford, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jon Bon Jovi. Through essays, interviews, informative sidebars, and compelling facts, each chapter tackles a specific cause — AIDS, the environment, animal rights, gun control, human rights — and features a short introduction by Kenneth Cole, an advocate with 25 years of addressing socially relevant issues under his belt. Each chapter highlights the issue in detail and outlines a number of effective ways — at varying levels of commitment — for readers to get involved. Awearness, the book, is the cornerstone of Kenneth Cole's AWEARNESS campaign, a wide-reaching initiative poised to raise awareness for various social issues, to stimulate public debate, and to provide inspiration and opportunity for people to get involved.
