OUR BOOK OF THE WEEK...
The Better Angels of Our Nature Harvard Professor of Psychology Steven Pinker ventures into the darkest regions of the human condition with this sweeping survey of violence and conflict. Using today's seemingly ceaseless stream of blood-soaked headlines as his starting point, Pinker asks how our current state compares to the past. He arrives at a startling conclusion: we are less violent now than ever before. With a potent display of historical documents to support his claim, The Better Angels of Our Nature can certainly be a distressing read, but Pinker's lucid prose and sheer intellectual acuity make this book, despite its hideous subject, a luminous and deeply moving experience. -Matthew |
