Steven Pinker's riveting, myth-destroying new book reveals how,

contrary to popular belief, humankind has become progressively less

violent, over millenia and decades.

Given the images of conflict we see daily on our screens, can

violence really have declined? And wasn't the twentieth

century the most devastatingly brutal in history? Extraordinarily,

however, as Steven Pinker shows, violence within and between

societies - both murder and warfare - really has declined from

prehistory to today. We are much less likely to die at someone

else's hands than ever before.

Debunking both the idea of the 'noble savage' and a

Hobbesian notion of a 'nasty, brutish and short' life, Steven

Pinker argues that modernity and its cultural institutions are

making us better people. He ranges over everything from art to

religion, international trade to individual table manners, and

shows how life has changed across the centuries and around the

world - not simply through the huge benefits of organized

government, but also because of the extraordinary power of

progressive ideas. Why has this come about? And what does it tell

us about ourselves? It takes one of the world's greatest

psychologists to appreciate and explain this story, and to show us

our very natures.
