This book provides the first broadly interdisciplinary examination of peace as viewed from the perspectives of social anthropology, primatology, archeology, psychology, political science, and economics. In its broad perspective and conclusions, this book makes a fresh and timely contribution to our understanding of the fundamental characteristics of peace.
