SUMMARY:In Conversation: Clifton Crais and Larry Rosen
DESCRIPTION:Historian Clifton Crais will discuss his new book\, The Killin
 g Age: How violence made the modern world\, with anthropologist Larry Rose
 n.\n\nIn this bracing\, landmark book\, Crais urges us to view the growth 
 of global capitalism between 1750 and the early 1900s not as the Anthropoc
 ene\, but as the Mortecene: the Killing Age. Killing brought the world tog
 ether and tore it apart\, as profiteering warlords committed mass-scale sl
 aughter of humans and animals across Africa\, Asia\, and the Americas. The
  newfound ease and profitability of killing created a disturbing network o
 f global connections and economies\, eliminating tens of millions of peopl
 e and sparking an environmental crisis that remains the most urgent catast
 rophe facing the world today. (University of Chicago Press)\n\nBooks will 
 be available for sale and signing courtesy of Compass Rose Books.\n\nClift
 on Crais is Professor of History Emeritus at Emory University\, and previo
 usly held teaching positions at Johns Hopkins\, Stanford University\, and 
 Kenyon College. His work has been supported by fellowships from the Nation
 al Endowment of the Humanities\, the American Council of Learned Societies
 \, Fulbright\, and the Stanford Humanities Center.\n\nLarry Rosen is the C
 romwell Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at Princeton University and Adj
 unct Professor of Law Emeritus at Columbia University. A member of the bar
  of the U.S. Supreme Court and named to the first group of MacArthur Award
  recipients\, he recently served as a Senior Fellow at Harvard Law School.
