Cornell University Press author Fiona Terry, writer of "Condemned to Repeat? The Paradox of Humanitarian Action," received the 2006 University of Louisville Grawemeyer Award for "Ideas Improving World Order." The award is for $200,000.

The Grawemeyer Foundation at the University of Louisville annually awards up to $1 million for works in music composition, education, ideas improving world order, religion and psychology.

Terry's award marks the fifth Grawemeyer for Cornell University Press. No other publishing house has received more than one Grawemeyer since the award was established in 1985. Awards founder Charles Grawemeyer, an industrialist, entrepreneur and University of Louisville graduate, wanted to reward powerful ideas or works in the sciences, arts and humanities.
