But, surely, we have learnt the lessons of the past? Surely, peace will continue?Are you sure? Do you even know what causes wars? Mike Martin argues that we don't understand what causes violence and conflict, let alone how to go about solving these problems. But there is a way to make sense of war and society: linking the evolution of our brains with our history of social development, 'Why We Fight' shows how political dynamics, violence between individuals and, above all, war between groups are all caused by deep-seated, unconscious urges to seek status and belonging.Weaving together evolution, personal experiences of war, and more than a decade of studying conflicts around the world, 'Why We Fight' will change the way you think about society, about war, and about yourself. It is a blueprint for the turbulent 2020s.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305683169653,"sku":"9781787384897","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781787384897_9bb54dad-26b7-4eac-aa13-283b180a8571.jpg?v=1786025966"},{"product_id":"9781787389625","title":"Crossing the Congo","description":"In 2013, three friends set off on a journey that they had been told was impossible: the north-south crossing of the Congo River Basin, from Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to Juba, in South Sudan.Traversing two and a half thousand miles of the toughest terrain on the planet in a twenty-five year old Land Rover, they faced repeated challenges, from kleptocracy and fire ants to non-existent roads and intense suspicion from local people. Through imagination and teamwork - including building rafts and bridges to cross rivers, conducting makeshift surgery in the jungle and playing tribal politics - they got through. But the Congo is raw, and the journey took an unexpected psychological toll on them all.Crossing the Congo is a story of friendship, what it takes to complete a great journey against tremendous odds, and an intimate look into one of the world's least-developed and most fragile states.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305687396725,"sku":"9781787389625","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781787389625_14f1d5f9-d5d9-4104-a062-613d3d6009e8.jpg?v=1786026081"},{"product_id":"9781911723875","title":"How to Fight a War","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn indispensable guide to understanding modern warfare, especially the decisions made by politicians and generals—both good and bad.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHas any war in history gone according to plan?
