"This volume arises from a crucial question formulated by political scientist Glenn D. Paige: "Is a Nonkilling Society Possible?" Paige (and much of the evidence brought forward in this book) reminds us that nonkilling societies, characterized by no killing of humans and no threats to kill, do exist in spite of having passed largely unnoticed to most of the scientific community. Most authors who are contributing to this volume have been repeating the same crucial fact for decades: killing-free societies, as those imagined by Paige in his book, are not a utopian dream; they are a genuine actuality that has been in existence for millenia. It can probably be said louder but not more clearly. This volume provides firm evidence that the only feasible answer to Paige's question is undoubtedly affirmative."--Page 4 of cover.
