Engaging and witty …Everyone with an interest in language and how it gets to be how it is-that is, everyone interested in how we get to be human and do our human business-should read THE STUFF OF THOUGHT., "My favorite book of the last decade is [Steven] Pinker's Better Angels of Our Nature . It is a long but profound look at the reduction in violence and discrimination over time."--Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, A Mark Zuckerberg "Year of Books" Pick "My favorite book of the last decade is [Steven] Pinker's Better Angels of Our Nature .

Synopsis
"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) A provocative history of violence--from the New York Times bestselling author of The Stuff of Thought , The Blank Slate, and Enlightenment Now . Believe it or not, today we may be living in the most peaceful moment in our species' existence. In his gripping and controversial new work, New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows that despite the ceaseless news about war, crime, and terrorism, violence has actually been in decline over long stretches of history. Exploding myths about humankind's inherent violence and the curse of modernity, this ambitious book continues Pinker's exploration of the essence of human nature, mixing psychology and history to provide a remarkable picture of an increasingly enlightened world., "If I could give each of you a graduation present, it would be this--the most inspiring book I've ever read." -- Bill Gates A provocative history of violence--from the New York Times bestselling author of The Stuff of Thought , The Blank Slate, and Enlightenment Now .

- v***v (2081)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
