Antichrist
Travis Marx was just like any other teenager. He was experiencing angst caused by the fundamentalists in the community where he lived--that was, until one evening when a visiting alien promised him telepathy in exchange for what could be his doom or his deliverance. In conflict with the values of his family, he took an adult adventure across the nation and across religions. He pursued Islam, the New Age, and Buddhism before the select Christians experiencing clairvoyance found themselves at cross purposes with him and determined he could be none other than the Antichrist. Would he be delivered from them and all the heartache they had caused him, or would he become yet another of their victims?
The Better Angels of Our Nature
'The most inspiring book I've ever read' Bill Gates, 2017 'A brilliant, mind-altering book ... Everyone should read this astonishing book' Guardian 'Will change the way you see the world' Daily Mail Shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize 2012 Wasn't the twentieth century the most violent in history? In his extraordinary, epic book Steven Pinker shows us that this is wrong, telling the story of humanity in a completely new and unfamiliar way. From why cities make us safer to how books bring about peace, Pinker weaves together history, philosophy and science to examine why we are less likely to die at another's hand than ever before, how it happened and what it tells us about our very nature...

Лучшее в нас: Почему насилия в мире стало меньше
Сталкиваясь с бесконечным потоком новостей о войнах, преступности и терроризме, нетрудно поверить, что мы живем в самый страшный период в истории человечества. Но Стивен Пинкер показывает в своей удивительной и захватывающей книге, что на самом деле все обстоит ровно наоборот: на протяжении тысячелетий насилие сокращается, и мы, по всей вероятности, живем в самое мирное время за ...
Il declino della violenza
Il XX secolo, con lo spaventoso numero di vittime provocate da due guerre mondiali e vari genocidi, è stato definito "il secolo più violento della storia", e l'alba del nuovo millennio sembra prefigurare scenari non meno inquietanti, diffondendo ovunque una crescente sensazione di insicurezza e paura. Eppure, anche se può sembrare incredibile, in passato la vita sul nostro pianeta è stata di gran lunga più violenta e spietata, e quella che stiamo vivendo è probabilmente "l'era più pacifica della storia della nostra specie". A sostenere questa tesi in apparenza paradossale e destinata a far discutere è Steven Pinker, il quale dimostra, statistiche alla mano, che il calo della violenza...
