In a new preface, Glover brings the book through the post-9/11 era and into our own time-and asks whether humankind can weaken the grip war has on us. Praise for the first edition:"It is hard to imagine a more important book. Glover makes an overwhelming case for the need to understand our own inhumanity, and reduce or eliminate the ways in which it can express itself-and he then begins the task himself. Humanity is an extraordinary achievement."-Peter Singer, Princeton University"This is an extraordinary book: brilliant, haunting and uniquely important. Almost 40 years ago a president read a best seller and avoided a holocaust. I like to think that some of the leaders and followers of tomorrow will read Humanity."-Steven Pinker, New York Times Book ReviewHistory, Modern20th centuryMoral and ethical aspectsHumanityHistory, ModernMoral and ethical aspects.Humanity.Glover Jonathan93665MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816708703321Humanity742315UNINA
