http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674067141
Slaughter in battle was once seen as a legitimate way to settle disputes. When pitched battles ceased to exist, the law of victory gave way to the rule of unbridled force. In THE VERDICT OF BATTLE James Whitman explains why ritualized violence was more effective in ending carnage, and why humanitarian laws that view war as evil have led to longer, more barbaric conflicts.

By birth in humans, this process of neuronal proliferation has virtually stopped. There are, however, some localised areas of the brain, in the olfactory lobe and the hippocampus, for example, where neuronal stem cells survive well into adulthood.
