Stones into Schools: From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Three Cups Of Tea, Greg Mortenson has met with heads of state, top military officials, and leading politicians, all of whom seek his advice and insight. Three Cups of Tea continues to be a phenomenal success with a committed and eager audience, but it’s incomplete—Stones into Schools is the next chapter.

Greg Mortenson is the recipient of Pakistan’s highest civil award (The Star of Pakistan) for his sixteen years of work to promote education and peace. The cofounder of the Central Asia Institute—which now boasts 131 schools educating 58,000 students, 40,000 of whom are girls—and Pennies for Peace, he lives in Montana with his family.
