In September 2009 the Center held a book release event for the publication of Creating Waldens: An East-West Conversation on the American Renaissance. The first title from the Center's Dialogue Path Press, it features Daisaku Ikeda in dialogue with scholars Ronald A. Bosco and Joel Myerson. Bosco and Myerson were on hand to discuss the book. Boston University's Anita Patterson joined with comments on key ideas from Creating Waldens. Photos by Marilyn Humphries.
