That misunderstanding has allowed us to justify wars on every level, whether against bacterial colonies or human societies, even when other, less violent solutions may be available. Through tales of mass extinctions, developing immune systems, human warfare, the American industrial heartland, and our degrading modern environment, Graffin demonstrates how an oversimplified idea of war, with its victorious winners and vanquished losers, prevents us from responding to the real problems we face. Along the way, Graffin reveals a paradox: When we challenge conventional definitions of war, we are left with a new problem, how to define ourselves. $c --from Amazon.com. 650 0 $a War $x Causes. 650 0 $a Social Darwinism. 650 0 $a Evolution (Biology) $x Philosophy. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217022458.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826035901.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20151202011515.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20151103013056.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18980070730211E5B93953AADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
