This revised edition includes new chapters on the development of aggression, biological bases of aggressive behavior, and aggression in natural settings; and extensive updates of the theory and research covered in the first edition.

From a review of the first edition
"An excellent book on human aggression....It is comprehensive and provides a useful and up-to-date summary of recent lines of research, yet it is easily read and understood by advanced undergraduate and graduate-level students."
