Synopsis
This book has become a timeless classic, as its words and theories continue to resonate with readers and remain increasingly relevant today. Originally published in 2005, it quickly gained popularity among scholars and went out of print in less than a year. Since then, the book has been reprinted three times to draw attention to the origins of violence, which has been used throughout human history for survival, to maintain structure and coherence, and as a power game to control others. Despite scientific advances, violence continues to plague our world today, leading many to question its roots and reasons. This book provides answers to these pressing questions by examining the gestation period and the impact that a mother and father's experiences have on their baby's burgeoning consciousness. The 14 main authors argue that eliminating violence against children during the prenatal and perinatal phases of development can weaken some of the links in the vicious cycle of violence, ultimately reducing its impact on families and society as a whole. Taking readers on an evolutionary odyssey through the most formative period of human development, this book stresses the urgency of recognizing the crucial role that our pre/perinatal experiences play in perpetuating the cycle of violence. Its primary goal is to raise awareness about this critical issue and promote change towards a more peaceful world. This enhanced 4th edition of the book offers new insights and perspectives on the subject matter, with the sole motivation of inspiring readers to choose peace over violence today.
