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 .

- e***n (392)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
- 0***g (380)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaExcellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
