Human History At The Crossroads: Where Do We Go From Here? [Hardcover]

The pathology of wars, violence, anger, and frustration is traced from the first hominids to our time. This book traces the history of our gradual alienation from nature, from our community, and from our own and other species. The author uses a conversational tone to explain a theory of how having relinquished control of our lives to others, be it rulers, priests, or bosses, we have created a general malaise which has led to anger, frustration and violence. The book ends optimistically with possible solutions.E. HAUSEN is a Professor at the University of Quebec at Montreal in the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science.
