11/08/18 War and Sex and Human Destiny - Unsolicited Review!
“I raced through this book. War & Sex & Human Destiny is one of the most, perhaps the most, eye-opening BIG-picture persuasive books I’ve read in the past several years on the peace issue. I totally enjoyed it. From observations re pop change to the many insights the author is able to provide due to her unique background into human nature (I liked the crack about hyper-alpha males “wagging the tale of civilization”). It is just a wonderful book.” James T. Ranney, Adjunct Professor of Law, Widener University Law School, Author of World Peace Through Law: Replacing War with the Global Rule of Law. Learn more.

"When 'masculine' and 'feminine' inclinations are encouraged simultaneously, male tendencies that can be manipulated to form armies will be bound by limits that foster social stability. Mature liberal democracies are the forums through which this pivotal, peace-affirming partnership of men and women can be expressed."
