The Better Angels of Our Nature: The Decline of Violence in History and Its Causes


Description

Do we really care about each other less than we did in the past? This myth-destroying book shows that, contrary to popular belief, humankind has become progressively less, not more, violent from prehistory to today. Even the twentieth century, commonly perceived as the most brutal, is part of this trend. Debunking both the idea of the \'noble savage\', and the Hobbesian notion of a \'nasty, brutish and short\' life, and ranging over everything from the Enlightenment to warfare, art to religion, Steven Pinker argues that modernity and its cultural institutions is actually making us better people.

Laurel Hill, New Jersey, is beginning to look like one of the unluckiest places on Earth when a series of mishaps hit the town. But Sam and Dean Winchester suspect it's more than just bad luck. Along with Bobby Singer, the brothers soon realize that a powerful Japanese demon is encouraging the chaos.
