The Better Angels of Our Nature: A History of Violence and Humanity | Steven Pinker

In his extraordinary and epic book – The Better Angels of Our Nature, Steven Pinker shows us that this is wrong, telling the story of humanity in a completely new and unfamiliar way.

From why cities make us safer to how books bring about peace, Pinker weaves together history, philosophy and science to examine why we are less likely to die at another’s hand than ever before, how it happened and what it tells us about our very natures.
