  Why Violence Has Declined
  Stephen Pinker
{{amazon>0143122010}}

[[wp>Stephen Pinker]]'s work has largely followed the [[analysis:evolution:evolutionary_psychology]] view of human nature, which often seems to neglect the importance of culture as a force in the human condition.  This book is a clear endorsement of the power of culture to dramatically transform the human condition by reducing violence.
