People around the world are asking the same question: how did we end up in our present crises of global warming, environmental destruction, widespread and endemic violence, and looming societal, even civilizational, collapse. The Killing Age: How Violence Made the Modern World, provides an answer and overturns many of our conventional understandings of history, including global warming.

This webpage is a further exploration of the ways violence has made our world, designed to accompany The Killing Age. The website provides additional information, including raw data, and is an invitation to delve further into the many arguments, debates, and controversies discussed in The Killing Age. You can explore images, maps, interactive databases, examples from the archives, and other materials. Follow the blog and join me in exploring historical and contemporary issues as humanity struggles to understand the world we live in.
