“If I could give each of you a graduation present, it would be this—the most inspiring book I've ever read." —Bill Gates (May, 2017) Selected by The New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of the Year The author of Rationality and Enlightenment Now offers a provocative and surprising history of violence. 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 millenia 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, programs, gruesom 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? This groundbreaking book continues Pinker's exploration of the esesnce of human nature, mixing psychology and history to provide a remarkable picture of an increasingly nonviolent world. The key, he explains, is to understand our intrinsic motives--the inner demons that incline us toward violence and the better angels that steer us away--and how changing circumstances have allowed our better angels to prevail. Exploding fatalist myths about humankind's inherent violence and the curse of modernity, this ambitious and provocative book is sure to be hotly debated in living rooms and the Pentagon alike, and will challenge and change the way we think about our society.

Man and Aggression was first published in 1968 as a direct challenge to the concept of man's instinctual "aggressive drive"--A concept advanced in the newly developing science of ethology (the study of the behavior of different species) by the eminent ethologist Konrad Lorenz, and popularized in books by Robert Ardrey. The appearance of subsequent critiques of the Lorenz thesis led the editor to enlarge and revise his original collection. This second edition contains eight additional essays, strengthening the book's sustained and reasoned criticism of the still fashionable contention that ethologists can understand human behavior by observing that of lower animals. The nineteen authorities represented in this volume offer a fine dissection of this Hobbesian view of man. They note, among other phenomena, the proclivities of many kinds of mammals to live together harmoniously; they discuss the evidence for spontaneous aggression, and distinguish between defensive and predatory killing; they probe the possible cultural sources of human aggression. Also, included for the first time is an exploration of the ritual origin of cannibalism, and an examination of the writings of Desmond Morris and Anthony Storr. The book's purpose remains, in the words of the editor, "to put the record straight, to correct what threatens to become an epidemic error concerning the causes of man's aggression, and to redirect attention to a consideration of the real causes of such behavior."--Adapted from book jacket

Derived from a meeting of natural and social scientists, this interdisciplinary book aims to summarize the main issues regarding the problem of human aggression, as well as human beliefs about the subject. This study brings together internationally known authorities and presents their recent contributions which range in complexity from the physiological to individual aggression, group conflict and international war. The study concludes with a multi-level approach to the problems of aggression and war. In nontechnical language suitable for general science readers, the book provides a valuable framework for the development of ideas and new attitudes in a field rife with misconceptions.
