{"product_id":"sex-and-war-malcolm-potts-9781935251705","title":"Sex and War: How Biology Explains Warfare and Terrorism and Offers a Path to a Safer World","description":"As news of war and terror dominates the headlines, scientist Malcolm Potts and veteran journalist Thomas Hayden take a step back to explain it all. In the spirit of \u003ci\u003eGuns, Germs and Steel\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSex and War\u003c\/i\u003e asks the basic questions: Why is war so fundamental to our species? And what can we do about it? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMalcolm Potts explores these questions from the frontlines, as a witness to war-torn countries around the world. As a scientist and obstetrician, Potts has worked with governments and aid organizations globally, and in the trenches with women who have been raped and brutalized in the course of war. Combining their own experience with scientific findings in primatology, genetics, and anthropology, Potts and Hayden explain war's pivotal position in the human experience and how men in particular evolved under conditions that favored gang behavior, rape, and organized aggression. Drawing on these new insights, they propose a rational plan for making warfare less frequent and less brutal in the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnyone interested in understanding human nature, warfare, and terrorism at their most fundamental levels will find \u003ci\u003eSex and War\u003c\/i\u003e to be an illuminating work, and one that might change the way they see the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malcolm Potts, Thomas Hayden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1935251708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935251705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Benbella Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.18w x 1.26d","brand":"Malcolm Potts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125596909823,"sku":"9781935251705","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09ea380b-6dcf-49a3-9d65-479d7fd1d22f.jpg?v=1687443515","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sex-and-war-malcolm-potts-9781935251705","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
