Reviews

Aggression is one of the grand puzzles of behavior that every society has to solve (and rarely solves to perfection). This book is a wonderful overview of both the classic wisdom and the latest findings on aggression. It provides a wealth of diverse perspectives, and may be the best edited book on aggression in many years. Anyone seeking to be brought up to date on these important phenomena should buy this book. -Roy F. Baumeister, author of Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty
