From the Center of the Earth: Stories out of the Peace Corps Edited by Geraldine Kennedy Kathleen Coskran Eileen Drew Tom Heidlebaugh Barbara Kerley William McCauley George Packer Bob Shacochis Mary-Ann Tirone Smith Kinney Thiele Maria Thomas Moritz Thomsen Mike Tidwell Richard Wiley

	After 40 years and more than 175,000 volunteers, the Peace Corps, as an expression of America's abiding hope and idealism, is firmly established in the national consciousness. A body of literature is being produced by American writers who have lived in the Third World. We are proud to bring them together for the first time in this widely acclaimed anthology. Within months of coming into the world, FROM THE CENTER OF THE EARTH was on the Washington Post BestSeller List. Fourteen years later, still going strong, it is a favorite of educators and students from middle school through college and readers everywhere curious about the truth of another world.
