The Cambridge World History of Violence

The Cambridge World History of Violence #1

by Garrett G. Fagan (Editor), Linda Fibiger (Editor), Mark Hudson (Editor)

The first in a four-volume set, The Cambridge World History of Violence, volume I provides a comprehensive examination of violence in prehistory and the ancient world. Covering the period through to the end of classical antiquity, the chapters take a global perspective spanning sub-Saharan Africa, the Near East, Europe, India, China, Japan and Central America. Unlike many previous works, this book does not focus only on warfare but examines violence as a broader phenomenon. The historical approach complements, and in some cases critiques, previous research on the anthropology and psychology of violence in the human story. Written by a team of contributors who are experts in each of their respective fields, this volume will be of particular interest to anyone fascinated by archaeology and the ancient world.

I'm very interested in this book, I don't quite understand why the kindle version costs only €26 and the Hardcover a whopping €144 though. I prefer to actually touch and mark passages in my books, but I'll go with the digital version for this one.

Edit: Nope, I actually bought the 4 Volume Hardback Set :D
Oh, and the reason the physical books are so much more expensive is because of the import costs into the EU.
