''Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan'' is a ''New York Times'' bestselling book by Greg Mortenson published by Viking in 2009.〔(New York Times Paperback Non-Fiction Bestsellers List )〕 The book is the sequel to the bestselling book ''Three Cups of Tea'' and tells the story of Mortenson's humanitarian efforts to build schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan with his non-profit charity organization, Central Asia Institute (CAI). CAI reports that as of 2010, it has overseen the building over 171 schools in the two countries. These schools reportedly provide education to over 64,000 children, including 54,000 girls, where few education opportunities existed before in the remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan. 〔("Mortenson Campaigned to Build Schools in Asia" ), ''ABC News,'' March 8, 2006.〕〔(Worldview: The lesson jihadis fear most – In the remote reaches of Pakistan, former mountain climber Greg Mortenson is besting extremists by building schools" ), ''Philadelphia Inquirer'', January 13, 2008.〕 ==Summary== ''Stones into Schools'' picks up where ''Three Cups of Tea'' left off in late 2003. Tracing the efforts of CAI to work in the northeast corner of Afghanistan, the book describes how the book's author and Sarfraz Khan worked to establish the first schools in the area. Mortenson and Khan's efforts were thwarted for a time when a devastating earthquake hit the Azad Kashmir region of Pakistan. CAI assisted with relief efforts in the region by setting up temporary tent schools and later build several earthquake-proof schools. After CAI's relief efforts were completed, the non-profit charity organization then opens schools in areas controlled by the Taliban and Mortenson assists the US military to formulate strategic plans in the region.
