Educating Beyond Violent Futures / Edition 1

by Francis Hutchinson

Overview

As we enter the Twenty-First Century, it is easy to assume that worsening trends in violence will be a feature of our lives, whether in our schools, our societies or as a species. Educating Beyond Violent Futures challenges assumptions that trends in violence are destiny, and raises crucial questions about choice and engagement.
Drawing upon new research, this book is essential reading for those who want to prepare our children for living constructively in the next century
