It has been a season of upheaval and bloodshed around the world. But Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker argues that deadly violence is actually decreasing globally, and that it has been for decades. Also on this edition, we hear about the new propaganda wing of the militant group that calls itself Islamic State. We visit a community in California that is grappling with the Ebola crisis from afar. And, we take a deep dive into the largest marine sanctuary in the world. Plus, an American photographer documents life in the Fukushima exclusion zone. And the legacy of 1940s social clubs for Japanese-Americans. (Photo: Harvard University professor Steven Pinker.
