Conflict, sadly, is part of our everyday life; experienced at home,
in the workplace, on our TV screens. But is it an inevitable part
of the fabric of our existence? In this volume, eight experts
examine conflict at many levels, from the workings of genes to the
evolution of galaxies. Evolutionary biologist David Haig examines
why we disagree with ourselves, and psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen
asks whether differences between the average male and female mind
must necessarily lead to misunderstanding. Anthropologist Richard
Wrangham explores why chimpanzees and humans have evolved to kill,
while archaeologist Barry Cunliffe examines the roots of warfare.
Political scientist Lisa Anderson analyses conflict in the Middle
East, and broadcaster Kate Adie reflects on television reporting of
war. The book concludes with industrial economist William Brown's
discussion of conflict in labour relations, and an exploration of
the creative and destructive effects of cosmic violence by
physicist P. C. W. Davies.
