The open challenge to the widespread acceptance of lethality and lethal intent trespasses the limits of an ideology for social change entailing a new scientific model based on the refutation of killing-accepting science. This volume brings together 24 authors and 14 disciplines (Anthropology, Arts, Biology, Economics, Engineering, Geography, Health Sciences, History, Linguistics, Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Psychology and Sociology) to seriously consider the prospects for the realization of nonkilling societies and to challenge each discipline’s role in the necessary social and scientific transformation.

First Sentence
"Understanding the nature of human violence and reducing its occurrence are the most pressing issues of our time. The last century, which evolutionary sociologists hoped would be the most civilized in history, brought the mechanization of war to a new level with the deaths of tens of millions of people. Even after two world wars, conflicts persist in the Middle East, Africa, and elsewhere, constituting to some a grim proof that violence is an intrinsic part of human nature and, as such, unstoppable."
