06/10/2019 War and Sex and Human Destiny - wins the 2019 San Diego Books Awards for Nonfiction!
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. The full text is available on this website.   Purchase from Amazon.com.

Her work on social conflict includes four books: Women, Power, and the Biology of Peace; A Future Without War. The Strategy of a Warfare Transition, 2nd Ed.; Shift: The Beginning of War, The Ending of War; and War and Sex and Human Destiny. She founded the project A Future Without War, served on the advisory board of San Diego Americans for a Department of Peace, and has spoken nationally and internationally. Essays and materials available on the website AFutureWithoutWar.org and in her books provide a “how to” exploration for advancing a profound social transformation that includes the abolition of war.

​Dr. Hand is also a published novelist: two Bronze Age epics and several contemporary women’s action adventures. This includes three award winners, Voice of the Goddess, set against the background of Bronze Age Crete, The Amazon and the Warrior, about the famous Amazon who fought Achilles in the Trojan War, and Code Name: Dove, the first in her series of women's contemporary action adventures.  List of Publications

"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."
