Used Very Good(1 Copy): Very Good in Very Good jacket 8vo. pp. xxviii, (2), 832, "Faced with the ceaseless stream of news about war, crime, and terrorism, one could easily think we live in the most violent age ever seen. Yet as New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows in this startling and engaging new work, just the opposite is true: violence has been diminishing for millennia and we may be living in the most peaceful time in our species's existence. For most of history, war, slavery, infanticide, child abuse, assassinations, pogroms, gruesome punishments, deadly quarrels, and genocide were ordinary features of life. But today, Pinker shows (with the help of more than a hundred graphs and maps) all these forms of violence have dwindled and are widely condemned. How has this happened? "

Used Like New(1 Copy): Charts and Graphs As New in As New jacket HB. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Signed by Author This new study by an eminent Harvard professor of psychology has all the makings of a classic, and, fortunately, a lucid and readable one at that. The book has been acclaimed by major reviewers, some of whom have pointed out that the undeniable decline in violence in recent decades is not due to changed human nature, but as Pinker documents persuasively, to our adapting more communal types of behavior. Along the way, Pinker discusses the various influences of history, evolution, the darker and brighter sides of human nature, and much more. This is a hefty boo, requiring extra postage for international buyers. It is an UNREAD copy in AS NEW condition, SIGNED by the author with number line starting with "1." 802 pages.
