The Better Angels of Our Nature: A History of Violence and Humanity by Steven Pinker

informative reflective medium-paced

3.75

A really interesting topic and overall good read. Definitely not a life changing book though, and even if the world is less violent than the past it doesn't mean the violence of the present should be discounted. There are definitely a few logical fallacies and some oversight and assumptions in the use and application of the data. 
What I find more interesting than this book and it's topic is how most people respond to the ideas within it, interesting information to start some intruiqing conversations.
