I'll add it to my list of 'to read' books for sure. If the violence really is declining, that is a wonderful thing. However, I still hold that if all he is counting is the death rate, then the statistics are not truly valid. Our ability to save someone from the brink of death has increased dramatically. So unless he is accounting for ALL violence, not just those resulting in casualties the numbers are off.
